"We've reached the point Where Alan's medication wore off" is such a crazy line 😂
This isn't accurate. Firstly, it depends on the meaning of radiation. In physics any electromagnetic wave (photons) can be referred to as radiation, including visible light, X-rays, gamma rays, microwaves, radio waves. Then the colour of radiation would be invisivle AND all rainbow colours. When we talk about radioactive substances, the radiation can describe either helium nuclei (alpha radiation), energetic electrons (beta-radiation), and energetic photons (gamma radiation). All of these are invisible. Cherenkov radiation is an after-effect of an interaction between a charged particle, usually electron, passing through dielectric medium like pure water. It is not the colour of radioactive particles.
It makes the water glow but its blue…in a water cooled systems…what colour is water i feel is the next question ⁉️
Wasnt the air above chernobyls reactor 4 also blue when it blew up?
The unvaccinated didn’t die = you were conned for cash.
Alan’s outburst… 😂
Fluorescent
Cloud chambers show radiation as white trails.
All
We cant see it, but its possible there is a creature that sees it
**Actually**, radiation as a term applies to all forms of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Visible light IS radiation. So technically radiation is every colour except black, plus others our eyes can’t discern 😅.
Colour exists only in your imagination, not in reality. So radiation, of any kind, can be any colour. The Sun radiates trillions upon trillions of different wavelengths … our brains colour them in a way that makes them useful.
All colours and invisible as well, didn't specify what type of radiation.
Depends on what type of radiation.
Alan Davies can be very annoying at times, he gets on like a child repeating himself until someone one teacts.
I think it's depicted as green because of glow in the dark watches.
Wrong
that old man in grey shirt isn't funny lol he thinks he's funny by screaming
