Can the ultrVIOLET wave be longitudinal?
Never. Electromagnetic waves are not mechnical waves. Moreover they are transverse in nature.
How does the ozone is able to protect the earth from the harmful amounts of ultrviolet radiation by?
Yes it does. It absorbs the UV rays within itself.
What ozone that exists in the second layer and protects us from ultrviolet ray from the sun?
The ozone layer is present in stratosphere. It protects us from the harmful UV rays.
What is Electronic warfare?
Electronc Warfare is any action that uses the elecromagnetic spectrum to aid one's own miltary forces or war strategy (Electronic Attack), that defends against enemy efforts to harm the same (Electronic Protection) or to control the spectrum and gather intelligence (Electronic Warfare Support). "Electromagnetic" includes telegraph, radio, telephone, radar, Infra Red, Ultrviolet and other less used sections of the EM spectrum.
Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?
Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.
How does the earth's magnetic field protect us from harmful substances from space?
it deflects partacles known as solar winds and Cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are composed of many particles. Most of the particles are charged (some positive, some negative). The charged particles are the ones that will do the most damage.
How does the Earth's magnetic field help people?
The Earth's Magnetic shield is important for preventing the Atmosphere from being destroyed by solar wind by deflecting dangerous particles from impacting the Earth.It protects Us from the magnetic / electrical radiation that comes from the Sun. High radiation periods coincide with solar storms.It protects us from solar radiation (wind) from the sun
Is energy from the sun that reaches Earth as heat or light?
Yes it does, though not a lot. It absorbs kinetic energy from impactors such as asteroids, meteorites, comets, dust, and cosmic rays. It also absorbs what little light from other suns fall upon it, just as earth's atmosphere absorbs starlight. Not a whole lot of energy there... -------------------------------- However while the Sun is capable of absorbing energy, the main thing the Sun does is EMIT energy in massive amounts.
