incident radiation in a sentence
Examples
- A light colored object may reflect much of the incident radiation and thus escape damage, like anti-flash white paint.
- The GM tube output carries information that the event has occurred, but no information about the energy of the incident radiation.
- Changbaiite reflectance, which is the fraction of incident radiation reflected by a surface, is 15.86 at 546 nm.
- The Rayleigh scattering model breaks down when the particle size becomes larger than around 10 % of the wavelength of the incident radiation.
- The scintillator must be shielded from all ambient light so that external photons do not swamp the ionization events caused by incident radiation.
- For example, in a scintillation detector, incident radiation excites a fluorescent material that de-excites by emitting photons of light.
- When a population inversion ( \ Delta N > 0 ) is present, therefore, optical amplification of incident radiation will take place.
- The generation of radiation pressure results from the momentum property of photons, specifically, changing the momentum when incident radiation strikes a surface.
- If the intensity of the incident radiation of a given frequency is increased, there is no effect on the kinetic energy of each photoelectron.
- In this way spectroscopic information on the energy of the incident radiation is available by the magnitude of the output pulse from each initiating event.
