Which kind of light rays causes the earth to get the warmest?
Infrared Heat.
Optical telescopes are designed to collect and create images from is it white or visible light or x rays or infrared radiation or gamma rays?
An "optical" telescope would naturally collect light from optical wavelengths, meaning visible light from ~400-800nm.
What happens to the energy wasted in a light bulb?
electircal or photo electrical energy. Photons are shot across from panel to another panel this sparking back and forth creates the light you see.Answer: Electricity is the energy input into a light bulb. It either heats afilamanet to produce heat and light, r excites the gas contained in the bulb (in flluorescent tube) to emit visible light directly or emit UV light which interacts with a phosphor coating in the tubes to emit light.
How does an infra-red camera work?
Infrared (IR) photos are taken with normal cameras using infrared film. The difference is the film used, not the camera. IR film is sensitive to the IR spectrum of light, not the visible spectrum.
What is the scientific term for light energy?
Light is the visible spectrum of electromagnetic energy.
How is visible light convert to infrared in greenhouse effect?
Visible light heats the earth and the earth emits infrared energy which is absorbed by green house gases that trap the heat.
How visible light and infrared energy warms earth?
by absorbing them and convert heat
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.
In what form is radiant energy reflected back into space?
Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared (thermal) radiation.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy
What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
Does the sun or earth emit light with higher energy?
Only the sun emits radiation in the wavelengths of visible light, which is considerably higher energy than infrared emitted by Earth.
Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?
Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.
Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red?
Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red is infrared light.
Compare the frequency and energy of infrared rays to the frequency and energy of visible light?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
What photon has lower energy infared or visible light?
infrared
Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
