What is the color of the light from the mercury lamp OF A mercury lamp emits radiation with a wavelength of 436 nm?
DYMOND062395
1 nm = 1e-9m (1 times 10 to the power -9); the basic formula for wavelenght and frequency is: (speed of the wave) = (wavelength) x (frequency); therefore, since the speed of light is 300e6 m/s, the frequency is 300e6 / 400e-9 = 0.75e15 or 750e12 (750 trillion cycles per second).

What color is given off by a tube that contains neon gas?
Neon signs give off a characteristic bright red to reddish-orange light. Other colors are created by using argon and mercury, and coating the inside of the tube with phosphors that emit the desired color when ionized. The mercury ionizes and emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The UV light slams into the phosphor coating, and the phosphor emits light. The color of that light will be determined by the composition of the phosphor coating.
Why is Earth's atmosphere mainly heated from the ground up?
Solar radiation mostly passes through the atmosphere without heating it, due to its wavelength. It does not pass through the ground, however, and it heats the ground. The ground emits radiation at a wavelength dependent on its temperature. This radiation happens to be in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, or in other words, sensible heat. Therefore, the atmosphere is heated by the surface, whereupon the heat tends to rise and heat the lower atmosphere.
What type of radiation is given off by strontium 90?
It emits Beta radiation.
A helium neon laser emits light of wavelength 633 nm Light from an argon laser has a wavelength of 515 nm Which laser emits the higher frequency light?
according to the wave theory of light,we have the relation that wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency,therefore the electromagnetic wave with the lower wavelength will have higher frequency..
222Rn emits a beta particle to produce what element?
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).
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
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.
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.
Why is the statement the color of an object depends on the wavelengths of light it absords inaccurate?
...because the colour of an object depends on the wavelength of light it reflects, or the wavelength of light it emits.
What type of radiation is responsible for heating effect in sunlight?
The Sun emits infrared radiation, as well as a broad spectrum of other rays of electromagnetic radiation. It is the infrared band, that just beyond (and just longer in wavelength) what we see as the color red, which reacts with matter to increase its temperature. Infrared from sunlight heats the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

How do colors tell you about the temperature of a star?
The colder a star is the longer the light waves it emits. Light wavelength is what we perceive as color.
What form of electmagnetic waves does the sun give off?
The Sun emits radiation in all parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. However, the strongest intensity radiation is at wavelength of around 450 nanometers. This is in the visible region.
Where does the earth emits radiation with greatest intensity at?
The Earth emits infrared radiation at greatest intensity
The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in?
The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in a spectral region. The spectral region the sun's radiation emits to is the visible region of the spectrum.
What determines the radiation that an electromagnetic wave emits?
You're probably thinking of frequency and wavelength. If that's true, then you onlyneed one or the other. They're tightly connected, so if you know one of them, thenyou can always calculate the other one.
