Light colored objects absorb radiation fast or slow?
slow
What is the difference between gamma rays and infrared rays?
An "alpha ray" is not actually a ray at all, as a ray usually means "electromagnetic radiation". The closest yo can get to that is a stream of alpha particles. Alpha particles are helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons bound together) stripped of their electrons; because they are heavy and relatively slow, they can be stopped typically by a sheet of paper. Infra red rays are electromagnetic radiation, like light or radio, at a frequency which we perceive as "heat".
How does friction help a car slow down?
Friction is suppose to slow down things and yes it can. HOW DOES: both 2 surfaces collide with each other, causing heat. Heat will slow down the object by "meeting" with the 2 surfaces. I hope I helped :)
Works to slow down or stop motion due to surfaces rubbing against each other?
Friction
What works to slow down or stop motion due to surfaces rubbing against each other?
Friction
What are the effects of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane act to slow down the escape of infrared radiation from the atmosphere. It is this trapped radiation that warms up the planet.

Why do rough surfaces slow down sliding more than smooth surfaces?
rough surfaces take more energy from the system in the form of friction

How can people slow down Radiation?
radiation can be slowed by the using of salt.take example by people in japan

Does infrared technology fall under the category of wireless networks?
Infrared can't be used as a technology for wireless networks because of its slow speed and limited functionality. Infrared is used for wireless communication at very small level.
What slow evaporation from water surfaces?
Thie depends upon temperature and pressure.
What is the difference between greenhouse gases and the ozone hole?
The greenhouse effect is some moderating gases (greenhouse gases) that allow energetic radiation to pass, but slow the passage of infrared to space. And molecule with three or more atoms is a greenhouse gas. The hole in the ozone is a natural repeating phenomenon. As the hole forms, more infrared is allowed to radiate to space, and the surface below the hole cools more.
What are some forms of nuclear radiation?
Nuclear radiations include:Alpha radiationBeta radiationGamma radiation or x-raysFast or slow neutrons
Does infrared light appear red to human eye?
NO, THE FREQUENCY OF INFRARED LIGHT IS TOO SLOW (WITH CONCOMITANT LONG WAVE LENGTHS) TO EXCITE THE NERVES IN THE RETINAS OF THE EYES. INFRARED RADIATION IS ONE FORM OF ENERGY FROM THE SUN THAT IS ABSORBED BY THE WHOLE BODY. No, heat doesn't appear red to the naked human eye, because infrared light isn't in the visible spectrum of colors that humans can see. Heat's wavelengths are too short for the naked eye to detect, just like ultraviolet's wavelengths are too long for the nake eye to also detect. However, your skin can detect infrared light and respond to it by sweating when it's absorbing too much heat.
