What else can I help you with?
What layer of the atmosphere is completely exposed to the sun's radiation?
The Thermosphere
Is it true that the longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer the person is to the radiation the greater the risk?
Yes, this is true. The longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer they are to the source of radiation, the greater their risk of harm. The amount of radiation absorbed by the body is directly related to the duration and proximity of exposure.
The sun's energy travels by electromagnetic bands. true or false?
True. The Sun's energy is primarily transmitted through electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. The chances of survival for a person exposed to radiation depend on the type, dose, and duration of exposure. Treatment and medical interventions can help improve survival rates for individuals exposed to radiation.
If the ozone layer becomes thinner what happens?
Earth is exposed to the dangerous radiation of the sun.
Does the earth or the sun emit more infrared radiation?
The Earth emits more infrared radiation than the Sun. The Sun emits mostly visible light and ultraviolet radiation, while the Earth's surface absorbs this energy and reradiates it as infrared radiation due to its lower temperature.
Does earth emit ultraviolet radiation?
The Earth itself does not emit ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation primarily comes from the sun, which emits different wavelengths of light including ultraviolet radiation. When the Earth is exposed to sunlight, it can absorb and reflect this ultraviolet radiation.
Is true that if a person is exposed to radiation he has no chance of survival?
No. It depends on the amount of radiation, and it has to be ionizing radiation, which means ultraviolet or shorter waves. Alternatively, non-ionizing radiation can kill by heating the tissues if the energy intensity is high enough.
When do you encounter radiation energy?
Whenever your exposed to radiation...
Is it true that an oxygen form present in the ozone layer filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
yes
Greater amounts of what pigment are produced when the skin is exposed to the sun?
Melanin is the pigment produced in greater amounts when the skin is exposed to the sun. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes in response to UV radiation as a defense mechanism to protect the skin from damage.
Why the ozone layer is important?
Without the ozone layer, the Earth and everything living would be exposed to harmful radiation, which could kill us if we were exposed for too long.
