preniknutie

Preniknutie is a Slovak and Czech word that translates to "penetration" or "permeation" in English. It is a general term used in various contexts to describe the act or process of passing through or into something.

In physics, preniknutie can refer to the penetration of radiation through matter. This depends on the type of radiation, its energy, and the properties of the material it encounters. For example, gamma rays have a high degree of preniknutie and can pass through many materials that would block alpha or beta particles.

In fluid dynamics, preniknutie describes how a fluid moves into or through a porous medium. This is relevant in fields like hydrology, where it describes groundwater flow, or in soil science, where it relates to water infiltration.

The term can also be used metaphorically. For instance, it might describe the penetration of an idea or influence into a society or culture, or the infiltration of a system by unauthorized individuals or data. The specific meaning is always determined by the context in which the word is used.
