What else can I help you with?
Does carbon dixoide absorb ultraviolet radiation?
No, carbon dioxide primarily absorbs infrared radiation (heat) in the Earth's atmosphere. It plays a role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat within the atmosphere. Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by other gases such as ozone in the stratosphere.
Does the thermosphere protect us from ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
False
Are all the radiation absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the stratosphere?
No, not all radiation absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the stratosphere. Different layers of the atmosphere absorb different types of radiation. For example, the ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs a significant amount of ultraviolet radiation, but other layers like the troposphere also absorb certain wavelengths of radiation.
Infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation make up most of the energy Earth receives from the sun?
Yes, infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation make up the majority of the energy Earth receives from the sun. Infrared radiation warms the Earth's surface while ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the atmosphere. Both types of radiation play important roles in Earth's climate and ecosystems.
Are X-rays less dangerous to health than ultraviolet radiation?
No, they are not. X-rays have a higher energy than UV radiation, and they have the potential to do more damage to tissue.
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.
True or false the higer you go in the ozone layer the colder it gets?
False. In the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is located, temperatures actually increase with altitude. This warming occurs because ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, which heats the surrounding air. Therefore, as you ascend through the ozone layer, it generally gets warmer, not colder.
Carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere is a strong absorber of solar ultraviolet light?
Ozone protects us from UV-B, and any UV-C that makes it past the nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen and oxygen protect us from UV-C, and some of the oxygen then ends up making ozone...The ozone inside the stratosphere blocks ultraviolet radiation
What statement about the EM spectrum is false?
The entire electromagnetic spectrum consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Black body radiation of the emission o light from metal surfaces false or true?
This is false. Most metal surfaces are shiny and reflective. These reflect light away from the surface and absorb very little heat/light. An example of something that absorbs light/heat is black soot and something that doesn't absorb either would be glass.
When earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultravioet radiation?
That's...rather unlikely...Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum (Radio, Microwave, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma radiation), The higher you go in frequency (and the lower the wavelength), the higher the temperature must be to emit its respective radiation.To emit ultraviolet rays, a body must at least be able to produce its own light source. Since Earth is not capable of that, we can rule out that it produces light waves from that heating.Whether Earth can radiate UV radiation is debatable. The ozone layer, the protective shield hovering over us, reflects the great majority of UV back into space. A small amount pervades through this layer, and will show up, and some reflective surfaces like the ocean will reflect it. However, to say it radiates?Additionally, UV radiation is not the cause of heating. Most people think that because UV radiation from an untampered source will always be accompanied by Infrared radiation (which is the actual cause of heating), so they simply associate UV rays and heat together. So UV rays do not heat up the atmosphere. They are reflected in moderate amounts, but they do not cause thermal fluctuations.
The sun's energy travels by electromagnetic bands?
Yes, the sun's energy is primarily transmitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. These different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation play a key role in heating Earth's surface and powering various processes including photosynthesis and climate patterns.
