What terms describe a type of radiation that reaches the Earth from the Sun?
Electromagnetic waves, mainly visible light.
What type of energy do stars emit?
Our sun emits mostly visible and ultra-violet radiation
What type of radiation do stars emit?
Electromagnetic radiation is the primary solar radiation, which ranges from UV through the visible spectrum into the infrared (IR), including long radio waves.
How does the sun release tremendory amount of energy?
The energy gets released mainly in the form of light and other electromagnetic waves.
Does the Sun have radioactive energy?
Yes. The Sun is powered by the process of Nuclear Fusion and it does output radioactive energy, mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
What type of electromagnetic radiation are useful to plants?
Mainly visible light.
How does energy reach the earth?
Energy, from the sun, reaches us in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
What terms describe a type of radiation that reaches the Earth from the Sun?
Electromagnetic waves, mainly visible light.
Why gamma rays are called electromagnetic rays?
Mainly because they ARE, just like radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-rays are.
What is one example of where energy transfer by radiation is occurring?
A good example is the energy we receive from the Sun. We receive this energy mainly as electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light and infrared.
What type of energy do stars emit?
Our sun emits mostly visible and ultra-violet radiation
Transfer of energy from the sun to earth's surface?
That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.
What does the word visual mean in apparent visual magnitude?
It means, related to what you can see, i.e., visible light.Note that a star can emit electromagnetic waves at lots of different frequencies, and in the case of some stars, much of its total power output is outside the range of visible light - mainly infrared, or mainly ultraviolet for example.
How does heat travel as radiant energy?
An object at any temperature emits electromagnetic radiation, mainly from its surface. This can be infrared, or - at higher temperatures - visible light. This electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space, or through air. If it strikes another object, the energy (or part of the energy) will be transfered to this other object.
What IS optical spacing?
An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light, mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrumcreate a magnified image for direct view, making a photograph, or collecting data through electronic image sensors.
What type of radiation do stars emit?
Electromagnetic radiation is the primary solar radiation, which ranges from UV through the visible spectrum into the infrared (IR), including long radio waves.
What is the green pigment in chloroplast and absorbs light energy from the sun?
Chlorophyll (mainly), though there are other accessory pigments. Chlorophyll usually absorbs light mainly in the red-orange to blue-violet parts of the visible light spectrum
