How much solar energy is absorbed and how much is reflected from the earth's surface?
At the earth's surface about 51% of incoming solar radiation is absorbed, and 4% is reflected back into space.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
Which object or material reflects infrared rays?
All materials will reflect, absorb and transmit (allow to pass through) electromagnetic radiation. This is called the Transmit/Reflect (T/R) ratio and it will vary for a material based on the wavelength of the incident radiation. IR radiation does not transmit through most materials. It is absorbed/reflected. Metalized Mylar has a small transmit/reflect ratio.
What reflected sound is called?
reflected sound is either reverberation or echo
What is difference between incident ray and a reflected ray?
A ray of light which strikes the surface is called incident ray and a surface which is reflected is called a reflected ray
When not all of the light is reflected is the light called absorbed?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is?
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is called albedo. With albedo, sunlight is reflected which prevents solar energy from being absorbed in the ground.
What is it called when light is stopped?
Light is stopped when it is absorbed rather than reflected.
When light strikes an object and some light is taken in is called?
The light that is taken in can either be absorbed, or it can pass through. The other option is that the light is reflected back.
When light strikes an object and some light is taken in it is called?
The light that is taken in can either be absorbed, or it can pass through. The other option is that the light is reflected back.
What is it called when water is absorbed through the soil?
It is called Condensation
Some water will be absorbed through the soil surface is called?
Water that is absorbed through the soil surface is called seepage. This is water that soaks into the ground, usually in a low spot of the area.
What chemical substances that are absorbed by the body through the process are called?
These substances are called nutrients.
What three things can happen to light when they strike the chlorophyll molecule?
A substance´s color is due to chemical compounds called pigments. When light shines on a material that contains pigments, three things can happen to the different wavelengths: they can be transmitted, reflected, or absorbed.
What is it called when light passes through a substance is it transmitted or absorbed?
It is transmitted.
Would a laser get stronger if it reflected back and forth?
No, it does not get stronger, the effect is completely opposite because some light gets absorbed, refracted and reflected by "mirrors". To make it stronger you need let light go through so called active body (cavity), then using so called stimulated (opposite to spontaneous) emission the beam can become stronger. It's how lasers work.
What are chemical substances that are absorbed by the body through the process of digestion called?
These substances are called nutrients.
