What else can I help you with?
What type of radiation that is sometimes felt as heat?
Infrared radiation is the type of radiation that is sometimes felt as heat. It is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is produced by the vibration and movement of molecules.
Which part of the solar radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer?
The ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer. The ozone molecules do not allow only the ultraviolet radiations to pass through.
What happens to molecules if they receive electromagnetic radiation?
They are excited and their energy increases and possibly ejects an electron and change their size and shape..They will often absorb part of the radiation; in that case, their energy will increase.
Is the ozone layer part of one atmospheric layers or a different layer?
The ozone layer is part of the Earth's stratosphere, which is one of the atmospheric layers. It is a region within the stratosphere where ozone molecules are concentrated and help absorb and filter out ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Type of radiation normally felt as heat?
Thermal radiation, in the infra red part of the spectrum. Microwave radiation also causes heat but that acts in a different way, by agitating the molecules in the water content of the food you are cooking.
What part of the microwave heats?
The microwave heats food by emitting microwave radiation that causes water molecules in the food to vibrate and generate heat through friction. The turntable inside the microwave helps ensure even heating by rotating the food and exposing it to the radiation from all angles.
What part of the atmosphere protects life from radiation?
Radiation can destroy life. Ozone protects from it.
What part of the atom is affected in radiation?
The electron is affected in radiation. The electron orbit is changed.
Are molecules in the air part of the hydrosphere?
No, molecules in the air are not part of the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere refers to all the water on Earth - this includes oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Molecules in the air are part of the atmosphere, which is a separate component of the Earth's systems.
Is visible light a type of ultraviolet radiation?
No, it is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which ultraviolet is part of as well.
How is radiation used as medicine?
Some of the medical machines use radiation and cancer treatments still use radiation as part of killing the cancers.
18) The amount of radiation that an individual absorbs depends on?
On the amount of radiation emitted; on how close the individual is to the source of the radiation; on any objects in between which might absorb part of the radiation.
