Which form of electromagnetic energy is radiated from the earths surface with the greatest intensity?
infared
When you turn a heat lamp on What happens to the electrical energy?
It gets radiated away, as infrared radiation, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.It gets radiated away, as infrared radiation, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.It gets radiated away, as infrared radiation, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.It gets radiated away, as infrared radiation, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
How thermal energy is transferred by radiation?
Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. Considering the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation, you could also consider it to be transferred by photons of the electromagnetic radiation. The rate of transfer of radiation is given by the surface area of the radiation source, the surface area of the object receiving the radiation, a geometric coefficient accounting for how much of the radiation from the source actually hits the receiving object, a physical constant called the Stephan-Boltzman constant, the reflectivity, transparency, and absorbtivity of the receiving object for the wavelengths of the radiated energy, and the difference in the 4th power of the thermodynamic temperatures of the objects.
The suns energy is a form of what type of energy-?
The size of the sun determines its temperature and the amount of energy radiated. Electromagnetic energy from the sun comes to Earth in the form of radiation.
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse

What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
Is it true when heated Earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation?
Yes, of course. Basically, all the energy (or almost all of it) that the Earth absorbs from the Sun must be radiated back into space at some moment.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What happens to incoming solar radiation after it is reflected off the surface of the earth?
The wavelength is longer. Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared radiation (heat).
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What is the definition of 'emissivity'?
The term "emissivity" refers to the relative power of a surface to emit heat by radiation. It could also be defined as the ratio of energy radiated by a particular material to energy radiated by a black body.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
If Earths surface is heated does it radiate most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
No. It radiates most energy back as infarred radiation.
What energy is radiated by Earths oceans into space?
biochemical raditaion
When earth cools most of the energy transfers from earths surface to space is transfers by the process of?
Radiation
