ewmon Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Cherenkov radiation falls within the light spectrum, and silver halides are sensitive to the light spectrum (they are used in photographic films), so the answer is yes. I have seen Cherenkov radiation in water at a nuclear facility, and the photos and videos of it accurately portray its light blue color seeming to emanate from the water around the radiation source.
