What color and texture of a material would absorb the least solar radiation?
white and smooth
What would happen if gases absorbs visible light?
Earth's atmosphere does have greenhouse gases. These gases absorb some of the infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface. If it did not, Earth would grow warmer and warmer as it absorbed more and more solar radiation. Greenhouse gas molecules absorb and emit infrared radiation.
The net radiation budget would increase as a result of a rise in atmospheric levels of?
D) all of the above methane, nirtous oxide, water vapour because they all absorb solar radiation the atmosphere
Does black absorb or reflect?
Black absorbs radiation. A perfectly black body would absorb all the radiation that is incident upon it.
Would material absorb more heat?
If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
What might be the effect of sprinkling black soot over the ice in the Arctic and Antarctica?
This would alter the snow-albedo feedback. Darkening the surface of snow/ice greatly lowers the albedo (reflectivity) of the surface. This would cause the snow/ice surface to absorb more solar radiation by virtue of its lower albedo, which would allow it to heat up more. Normally most solar radiation is simply reflected by snow back into the atmosphere and mostly out to space, so by causing it to absorb more you are heating up the lower atmosphere. By doing this, you are more likely to melt the snow/ice, whereby the albedo will be even lower, which would then absorb more radiation, etc.. This is called a positive feedback loop.
What would happen if the earth didn't have a magnetosphere?
We would die by the solar radiation
What would absorb the most solar radiation if you assume that each covers an equal geographic area... 1. a freshwater lake 2. a snow field 3. a sandy beach or 4. a forest?
A sandy beach
Are humans and life forms able to survive without solar radiation?
Humans do not need to expose themselves to solar radiation directly to survive. However, if there were no solar radiation at all, temperatures on Earth would quickly drop below freezing, and plants would not be able to grow. Humans would not live long under such conditions.
How would you describe the wavelengths of incoming solar radiation compared to the wavelengths of reradiated heat?
The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
Will bricks absorb radiation?
There are three primary types of nuclear radiation. Bricks will block both alpha particles and the more deeply penetrating beta particles. To stop gamma radiation, you would need several feet of brick. Lead is considered a better material for blocking high energy gamma rays.
The invisible heat from the sun is called?
