Definition that contains radiated
- radiation energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles
- rad a unit of absorbed ionizing radiation equal to 100 ergs per gram of irradiated material
- absorption (physics) the process in which incident radiated energy is retained without reflection or transmission on passing through a medium
- emanation something that is emitted or radiated (as a gas or an odor or a light, etc.)
- fluorescence microscopy light microscopy in which the specimen is irradiated at wavelengths that excite fluorochromes
- planck's radiation law (physics) an equation that expresses the distribution of energy in the radiated spectrum of an ideal black body
- blackbody radiation the electromagnetic radiation that would be radiated from an ideal black body; the distribution of energy in the radiated spectrum of a black body depends only on temperature and is determined by Planck's radiation law
- greenhouse effect warming that results when solar radiation is trapped by the atmosphere; caused by atmospheric gases that allow sunshine to pass through but absorb heat that is radiated back from the warmed surface of the earth
- latent heat heat absorbed or radiated during a change of phase at a constant temperature and pressure
- uranium 238 the commonest isotope of uranium; it is not fissionable but when irradiated with neutrons it produces fissionable plutonium 239
