Why are the photons that emerge from the Sun's surface visible-light photons and infrared-light photons rather than gamma-ray photons?

Photons do not come in different types like infared-photons etc. they are just the wavelength that the photons are at and nuclear fusion just happens to emit photons at a particular wavelength

1 watt equal to how many lux?
Lux is unit for measuring the illumination (illuminance) of a surface. It is the amount of light received per unit of surface area. You can' t convert watt, which is power, to Lux.
How does soler power work?
With solar cells, photons in light knock electrons off of the metal surface. This flow of electrons is called electricity. There are also solar collectors that utilize the heat from the sun to heat water etc.
What is the difference between electron radiotherapy versus photon radiotherapy for breast cancer?
Electrons are usually used depending on the depth of the breast tissues, and the location of the tumour. Electrons do not go as deep into the skin as photons do. If your tumour is close to the surface electrons may be used depending on the doctor that is treating you.
Does a star's spectrum show all of its elements?
The spectrum shows:the "blackbody radiation - a continuous spectrum that is related to the temperature of the surface of the starlines that are related to levels of energy that electrons jump, releasing photons, and"dark" lines which show energy levels of electrons belonging to elements in the atmosphere or the intervening space which block some radiation
When light hits the earth's surface does it continue through?
Nope. Light particles (photons)are nowhere near energetic enough to do that. On the other hand, tiny super-high-energy particles called, "Neutrinos" from outside the Earth are right now passing through you, me, and the entire Earth. There are not many materials dense enough to stop Neutrinos!
What color are most of the photons that leave the Sun's surface?
The surface temperature of the sun is roughly 5,800K, so the color of most of the photons that leave the sun's surface is green.
What are particles that move quickly away from the sun's surface called?
Photons. (In the form of electromagnetic radiation)
How long does it take Photons at the core to the surface?
It can take up to 200,000 years to reach the surface
What colors are green surfaces reflecting?
Green surfaces are absorbing all other color photons, and reflect only green photons, making the surface appear as green.
How many photons are there in a beam of light?
More than 1. Describing the intensity of the beam will establish the number of photons per second striek a perpendicular surface of a given area.
What objects emit photons on the striking of radiation on their surface?
a rare french cheese by the name of gullible
The photoelectric effect refers to what?
The waves have to be considered as made up of small packets of energy bundles called as quanta (photons). As these photons fall on a substance they eject electrons right from the surface.
KE equals hf minus hfo what does hf stand for?
hf is the energy of photons incident on the surface
Define quantum yield of a photo chemical reaction?
In photochemical reaction we have photons that passed to the surface starting photochemical reaction - producing some electrons. quantum yield=produced electrons/passed photons.
How is firing photons at the surface of a metal analogous to rolling different types of balls at a set of bowling pins ?
Js

When a beam of light is falling on prism surface and bend then which force is apply on its corner?
The trick behind this is that light is photons, which are massless.
