Why is hotter when wearing a black shirt?
the light attracts to black so it makes it hotter Black objects are black because they absorb all the visible radiation that falls on it. That light is then converted into infrared radiation which is essentially heat. White reflects radiation so you are cooler wearing white.
What is the difference between waves used in microwave ovens and nuclear radiation?
Both microwave radiation and nuclear electromagnetic radiation are members of the same species, but they're as different as babies are from elephants, to wit, microwaves are much, much less powerful than nuclear electromagnetic radiation. Microwave radiation, for instance, makes atoms shift their position (and magnetic fields) very, very quickly. Now the definition of heat is "movement," so the faster anything moves, the "hotter" we say it is. Ergo, something placed in a microwave-radiation-field becomes noticeably "hotter." But comparing microwave and nuclear electromagnetic radiation is like comparing a face-slap to a 20-ton BOMB. Nuclear radiation comes from atomic nuclei, so "nuclear radiation" can strike, penetrate, damage, and even destroy atoms in their path. Big difference, capiche? Huge.We left out the part about nuclear particulate radiation. There is no comparison there. Additionally, nuclear electromagnetic radiation is ionizing radiation while microwave radiation is not.
What electromagnetic wave makes fires heat?
All parts of the electromagnetic spectrum cause heat, and fires emit EM radiation based on a plank curve. However, in the majority of "normal" fires, the most common source is in the infrared spectrum.
What makes a light bulb an example of radiation?
The luminous radiation emitted by the light bulb.
The Energy that flows from a warmer body to a colder body is called?
Heat. A hotter (higher temperature) force will always transfer its heat to a cooler (lower temperature) object until the temperature of the two is equal. This is done in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is when two solids of different temperature are placed next to each other. The vibrating atoms in the hotter solid collide against the atoms in the cooler structure, losing their energy. When this happens, the atoms in the cooler structure become more agitated, resulting in increased heat. Transference of heat by the movement of a fluid containing thermal energy is known as convection. Radiation originates in the charged particles of an atom known as nuclei and electrons. As these particles move faster, they lose energy by emitting electromagnet radiation. Nuclei and electrons also aborbe electromagnet radiation which increases their energy. Because hotter objects emit more radiation than cooler ones, it carries heat from the hotter to the cooler.

If ultraviolet radiation makes amethyst lose its color would infrared light bring it back?
No.
A heat lamp produces what radiation?
Heat travels in the form of infrared radiation. You don't use radiation todetect radiation. You use a detector that responds to the type of radiationyou're trying to detect. In the case of infrared radiation, your skin makes anexcellent detector.
What is another name for infrared?
Light waves are energy, and are a form of electromagnetic radiation. That makes them similar to radio waves (which have a lower frequency) and X-rays (which have a higher frequency).
What planet is second from the sun?
The second planet from the Sun is Venus. Also, it is the hottest planet in our solar system. Even though Venus is the second planet from the sun. What makes Venus Hotter than Mercury is, Carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas and traps infrared radiation beneath.
Describe how infrared radiation makes your skin feel hotter?
Waves a little shorter than violet are called ultraviolet; still shorter ones are X-rays. Our eyes don't see these, but we get a sunburn from ultraviolet, while X-rays pass through us without our feeling them. Waves longer than red are infrared; still longer ones are radio waves of various kinds. Our eyes don't see these either, but we can feel infrared as heat on our skin. Electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths travels with the same speed. This is called the speed of light, denoted by the letter c. The speed is 300,000 kilometers per second or 186,000 miles per second. The skin absorbs infrared radiation by causing various molecules making up the surface of your skin vibrate more rapidly. This increase in the kinetic energy (the energy of motion) nerves sense as "heat". The details of the process are pretty complicated but that is the basic mechanism.
How does a waterful change?
It makes it hotter.
How is heat distributed in the surface zone of the zone?
By the SUNS ENERGY. (Which makes it hotter and hotter.)
What makes a greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation, which means they trap heat. Nitrogen and oxygen tend to be thermodynamically inert, meaning they let the heat escape. Water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide absorb long wave solar radiation, which helps keep the earth warm.
How do I find internet suppliers for infrared heaters?
EdenPure makes portable infrared heaters. You can find them online at: www.edenpurestore.com
Is it radiation that when the sun makes you warm?
it is the suns radiation
What effect do sunspots have on planets?
It makes them hotter.
