When does the earth emit terrestrial radiation?

Terrestrial radiation refers to heat emitted from the earth's atmosphere and surface.


What are the difference between fluoroscopic and radiography?

In radiography electrons are emitted when x rays fall on the screen, while in fluoroscopy light is emitted.....the electrons emitted in radiography stabilize the silver ions in the film and hence get deposited as metallic silver.The amount of silver deposition is proportional to the amount of electrons liberated which is in turn proportional to the intensity of the x-rays that strike the film.


Which region of the Sun is the source for extreme ultraviolet light and x-ray emissions?

a form of non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds


How does the energy of a photon compare in difference in energy levels of the atom from which it is emitted?

The energy of a Photon is equal to the difference in the energy level of the Atom that it came from.


Are Nuclear Power Plants Emissions Free?

The "smoke like gas" emitted from nuclear power stations is water vapor. And though water vapor is technically a "greenhouse gas", the amount emitted by nuclear power stations is a drop in the bucket compared to all the other sources of water vapor. However these gases are released at high temperatures, so they are injected high into the atmosphere.Nuclear power produces far less emissions than a coal-burning power plant, but it is not entirely "emissions-free", as some people claim.To dig up the uranium and extract the ore produces between 10 and 50 tonnes of carbon dioxide for every tonne of uranium oxide.A normal nuclear power plant producing 1000MW needs 200 tonnes of uranium oxide per year, which means between 2000 and 10 000 tonnes of Carbon dioxide per year, just mining the fuel. Not to mention the carbon from the shipping of the fuel.See the link below.

How many carbon dioxide emitted by cars per 1 meter?

There is a lot of difference between CO2 emissions from different cars. It will also depend on the type of fuel used : petrol (gasoline), diesel or other carbon based fuels.


What are car emissions?

Carbon Monoxide is the most common gas emitted from a car.


Why there is a difference in absorbed and emitted radiation in equatorial and polar areas?

There is a difference between poles and equator. It is because depletion is minimum at equator.


What causes photons to be emitted from excited atoms?

The energy difference, between two energy levels, is emitted as a photon, when the electron "falls down" to a lower energy level.


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.


Name four emissions emitted from vehicals causing a lot of air pollution?

smoke gas smell pollution


Why is riding a scooter better for the environment then driving a car?

because it doesn't burn as much fuel.the less fuel burned ,the less emissions are emitted.


What are coherence?

COHERENT WAVESWhen the light waves are emitted from a single source and they have the zero phase difference between them then the waves are said to be coherent. The coherent waves are shown below:

How did Bohr explain the line spectrum of hydrogen?

The difference in energy between the energy levels determines color of light emitted when an electron moves from one energy level to another.


What causes the difference in colors emitted by different colors?

different wavelengths from different colours
