1. Pass through: The radiation can simply pass through the object without interacting with it. This is more likely to happen with objects that are thin or made of materials that are not very dense, like air or water.

2. Be absorbed: The radiation can be absorbed by the object, transferring its energy to the atoms and molecules within the object. This can cause heating or even ionization, which is the removal of electrons from atoms.

3. Be scattered: The radiation can be deflected from its original path by interacting with the atoms in the object. This is called scattering, and it can change the direction and energy of the radiation.

The specific outcome depends on the type of radiation, the energy of the radiation, and the properties of the object it interacts with.
