What is long wavelength radiation given out by stars?
Infrared radiation is long wavelength radiation given out by stars.
When is The most frequent type of ground or surface-based temperature inversion is that which is produced by?
terrestrial radiation on a clear, relatively still night.
Which wavelength has a nickname heatwave infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
hey yall this isd tay taaaaaaayy,,,, the answer is ultra violet radiation
What wavelength of maximum intensity does the Sun emit?
The Sun emits most of its radiation in a wavelength band between 0.1 and 4.0 micrometers (µm).
Do stars radiate heat energy?
Like the Sun, all the stars are radiating heat all the time. They lose the heat (or thermal energy) through radiation.
What is the relationship between the temperature of a radiating body and the wavelength it emits?
The temperature of the radiating body determines the intensity and characteristics of the radiation it emits. Two electromagnetic radiation principles describe the relationship between a radiating body�s temperature and the radiation it emits. 1. Stefan-Boltzmann�s Law: Hotter objects emit more total energy per unit area than colder objects. 2. Wein�s Displacement Law: The hotter the radiating body, the shorter the wavelength of maximum radiation.
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed by?
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
What relationship between insolation and terrestrial radiation causes temperature to rise?
terrestrial radiation-the long wave radiated by the sun is called terrestrial radiation.
What is important about the peak wavelength of a thermal radiation spectrum?
The peak wavelength, is connected to the temperature of the objects. we have short peak wavelength when the temperature is high.
What wavelength of radiation is reradiated by the Earth upward?
Depending on the temperature of course, most of the radiation is centered between 5 and 20 microns in wavelength.
How does long wavelength radiation contribute to the greenhouse effect?
The trapping by the greenhouse gases of the long wavelength radiation (infrared) leads to more heating and a higher resultant temperature.
The wavelength of the radiation emitted by a body depends upon?
Temperature and emissivity of the body.
What does the following phrase mean relating to the quantum theory. As the wavelength increase to infinity or decrease to zero the intensity of radiation is zero?
As the wavelength increases to infinity the electro-magnetic continuum take on a new base value and with no variation has no radiation to transmit. As the wavelength decreases to zero the energy packet become a massive body and therefore is no longer a radiating.
When does the earth emit terrestrial radiation?
Terrestrial radiation refers to heat emitted from the earth's atmosphere and surface.
What determines the kind of wavelength and the amount of radiation that an object emits?
just had this on a test, the answer is Temperature
What is long wavelength radiation given out by stars?
Infrared radiation is long wavelength radiation given out by stars.
How does the frequency of radiant energy relate to the absolute temperature of the radiating source?
A low temp source emits low-frequency, long wavelength waves. A medium temp source emits medium frequency, medium wavelength waves. A high temp source emits high frequency, short wavelength waves.
