Can a faraday cage be used to stop the radiation at the Japanese reactor? If not why not? I know the frequencty is high but what if you pulsed DC current at the same frequency would that stop it?
Faraday cages work on radio/microwaves. X-rays and gamma rays penetrate matter.indio007 said:Can a faraday cage be used to stop the radiation at the Japanese reactor? If not why not? I know the frequencty is high but what if you pulsed DC current at the same frequency would that stop it?
No, a faraday cage is not able to stop all types of gamma rays. It can only block electromagnetic radiation within a certain frequency range, which includes some but not all types of gamma rays.
A faraday cage works by creating a conductive shield that encloses the object or space inside. This shield deflects and absorbs incoming electromagnetic radiation, including gamma rays, thus protecting the contents inside the cage.
No, a faraday cage can only provide protection up to a certain level of gamma ray exposure. If the intensity of the gamma rays is too high, it may still penetrate through the cage and cause damage to the contents inside.
Yes, there are other materials such as lead or concrete that are more effective at stopping gamma rays than a faraday cage. However, a faraday cage is still a reliable and commonly used method of protection against gamma rays.
Yes, a faraday cage can protect living organisms from gamma rays. However, it is important to note that the cage must be properly constructed and grounded in order for it to effectively shield against gamma rays. Additionally, living organisms may still experience some exposure to gamma rays if they are outside of the cage or if the intensity of the radiation is too high.
