Is ionizing radiation bactericidal?
Yes. Shortwave ultraviolet and gamma radiation are often used to sterilize foodstuffs and spices.
Greenhouse effect events in order starting with lights origin?
Incident infrared radiation is blocked. Visible and ultraviolet radiation heat Earth. Earth radiates infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is blocked and heats Earth. Visible and shortwave radiation heat Earth.Earth radiates longwave radiationLongwave radiation is reflected downward Longwave radiation heats Earth
When electromagnetic radiation is arranged to wavelength and frequency it forms the?
When electromagnetic radiation is arranged to wavelength and frequency it forms the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which type of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength that is about 10m to 1000m long?
The type of electromagnetic radiation includes the wavelength of 10 up to the -7 m is visible light. The wavelike properties of electrons are useful in determining the velocity and position of a particle.
Long wavelength and a low frequency is what type of radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation
What region with shortwave and longwave solar radiation?
Shortwave radiation occurs from the sun which is known as K*. Longwave radiation is known as L* and can occur from clouds etc.
What is the relationship between shortwave radiation and time of day?
The relationship between the shortwave radiation and the time of the day is that both depend with the latitude.
Visible and shortwave radiation heat Earth?
Yes it is. Visible light or Shortwave are radiation and it contain energy, when these radiation hit earth surface some fraction of radiation is absorb and transform from radiation energy to thermal energy.
What kind of radiation is insolation?
"shortwave", centered in the visible
What is UV-C?
If you are talking about light, then UV-C is a shortwave Ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength range 280 nm - 100 nm and can be used for disinfection of many different things like air, water or surfaces.
What is long wavelength radiation given out by stars?
Infrared radiation is long wavelength radiation given out by stars.
Is ionizing radiation bactericidal?
Yes. Shortwave ultraviolet and gamma radiation are often used to sterilize foodstuffs and spices.
Does sunlight come in longwave radiation or shortwave?
Wein's Displacement Law explains the difference between long and shortwave radiation. Shortwave radiation has shorter, more high energy wavelengths (stronger with less distance to travel) while longwave radiation travels farther, but has less energy. Earth's radiation is 20 times longer than the maximum solar radiation, so it is referred to as longwave, while solar energy is referred to as shortwave radiation.
Most of the radiation incident upon the Earth falls within the?
the shortwave spectrum
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed from?
It's warmed from the surface. Shortwave radiation passes through the atmosphere, or at least about half of it, where it reaches the ground and is absorbed. The ground re-emits it at a longer wavelength, thereby warming the lower atmosphere.
Will people be affected by electromagnetic radiation?
that depends on the wavelength of the radiation. the shorter the wavelength the more damage it can do.
What is the smallest infrared radiation wavelength?
the smallest infrared radiation wavelength is ranging from 0.75-1.3micrometre
