The earth would immediately become too hot for any life to exist. The oceans would become so hot they would boil, eventually evaporating, probably into space. We would have a runaway greenhouse effect.
What else can I help you with?
Does infrared radiation happen on Earth?
Yes, infrared radiation occurs naturally on Earth. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero. This type of radiation is commonly used in various applications, such as thermal imaging and infrared heaters.
What happen when radiation is absorbed?
When radiation is absorbed by a material, it transfers energy to the material, which can lead to the excitation or ionization of atoms or molecules. This can result in chemical changes, heating of the material, or damage to cells, depending on the type and dose of radiation.
What will happen to the amount of infrared radiation emit if an objects temperature is increased?
If an object's temperature is increased, the amount of infrared radiation it emits will also increase. This is because the intensity of radiation emitted by an object is directly proportional to its temperature according to Stefan-Boltzmann law.
What three things can happen to the radiation that earths receives from the sun?
The radiation that Earth receives from the sun can be absorbed by the atmosphere, reflected back into space, or absorbed by the Earth's surface and converted into heat energy.
How can infrared waves burn you?
Infrared waves can burn you by transferring heat energy to your skin. This can happen when you are exposed to high levels of infrared radiation, such as from sources like intense heat lamps or industrial equipment. The heat absorbed by your skin can cause burns similar to those from excessive sun exposure.
Radioactive carbon-14 is constantly being produced today how does this happen?
Carbon-14 is produced in Earth's upper atmosphere when cosmic rays interact with nitrogen atoms in the air, resulting in a neutron being knocked out of the nitrogen atom. This neutron may then be absorbed by a nitrogen atom, transforming it into carbon-14.
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.
What is completely absorbed by the ozone is it x-rays- gamma rays- visible light- UV- microwaves- radio waves- or infrared waves?
In order of increasing energies: # radio waves, passes through ozone. # microwaves, passes through ozone, but there are some resonances in "spinning" the molecule at a few tens of frequencies. # infrared, ozone absorbs some infrared... it is a molecule with more than two atoms. # visible light, very little interaction with all but blue. # ultraviolet light, UV-A passes through, UV-B and UV-C are absorbed. # X-rays, absorbed. # gamma rays, absorbed. Now it is important how much ozone is available along any given path for absorbing the radiation. Gases are very sparse, so "completely absorbed" doesn't happen. In addition, UV-C and more energetic are absorbed by all gases in our atmosphere. Ozone is unique in absorbing UV-B, and shares absorbing infrared with things like methane and water vapor.
What 3 things can happen when radiation hits an object?
Absorption: The object absorbs some or all of the radiation, which can lead to heating or ionization. Reflection: The radiation bounces off the object without being absorbed, similar to how light reflects off a mirror. Transmission: The radiation passes through the object without being absorbed, like how X-rays pass through the body during a medical imaging procedure.
What is the form of thermal transfer that does not require matter?
Radiation is the form of thermal transfer that does not require matter. It occurs through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation, traveling through space and transferring heat energy. This process can happen even in a vacuum where there is no physical medium for heat transfer.
What would happen to your body if you detect too much infrared radiation?
Too much exposure to infrared radiation can lead to skin burns, dehydration, and heat stress. Prolonged exposure may also damage tissues and cells, leading to long-term health issues. It is important to limit exposure to prevent negative health effects.
If you touch Nitrogen Gas what will happen?
Nothing will happen, nitrogen gas is inert and non toxic, 78% of the air we live in and breath is nitrogen.
