What are the three things that happens to the radiation the Earth receives from the sun?
It is reflected back out into space (e.g off clouds)It is captured by plants in photosynthesisIt warms the air and makes the weather systems on Earth and the ocean circulationsIt becomes trapped (over time) as fossil fuels.
What percent of sunlight is reflected off of the earth's surface?
47% heavy.
Most random thing in the world?
shoot a stop sign and them apologise to it. then make out with it, then take it down and throw it off a cliff then blow it up with dynamite
What do you call the bouncing of a waves from the surface?
reflectionWhen a wave bounces off a surface, it is said to have been reflected and the wave is called a reflection.reflectionWhen a wave bounces off a surface, it is said to have been reflected and the wave is called a reflection.
What can happen when radiation strikes an object?
It can reflect, absorb or scatter off the object.
Why the object appear when you put the object in front of mirror?
light bounces off an object and on to the miorror surface where it is then reflected at the same wavelength as it was casted on to there with
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).
The color of an opaque object is the same as the light that is?
...reflected off of it. For example, leaves appear green as their pigment (chlorophyll) only reflects the wavelength of green light.
Should you stop the car engine when am at a stop sign?
Absolutely never turn off the engine when you are in a driving lane on any roadway. A stop sign means stop, not park.
Should you stop the car engine when you are at a stop sign?
If by "stop the engine", you mean turn the car off, then the answer is NO!
How does light reflect off a mirror?
amsw2. A mirror, provided it is smooth to below the wavelength of light, will reflect the light in the same way you can see a water wave be reflected from a wall.
How does light reflect off a plane mirror?
amsw2. A mirror, provided it is smooth to below the wavelength of light, will reflect the light in the same way you can see a water wave be reflected from a wall.
How many points does failure to stop at stop sign in New York?
In California, when a person is charged with failure to stop at a stop sign, one point is taken off of the license. There are also fines that can be accrued for failing to stop.
What is the fraction if solar radiation that is reflect off a particular surface called?
There is no special name. The fraction of sunlight which is reflected will be different from the fraction of other light. The reflectivity of a surface varies with the wavelength of the incident light.
How do Paine's sign off help his case against the English?
He inspired the rebels in 1776 to declare independence from britian and his ideas reflected of transnational human rights.
Why do you see objects and their color?
You see objects because visible light( a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) is reflected off the surface of something into your eye. All different colors have a different wavelength which defines their frequency. When you see a red object, that object is absorbing all the colors except for red which is then reflected into your eye.
How does light reflected?
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
