The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.
Infrared Heat.
An "optical" telescope would naturally collect light from optical wavelengths, meaning visible light from ~400-800nm.
electircal or photo electrical energy. Photons are shot across from panel to another panel this sparking back and forth creates the light you see.Answer: Electricity is the energy input into a light bulb. It either heats afilamanet to produce heat and light, r excites the gas contained in the bulb (in flluorescent tube) to emit visible light directly or emit UV light which interacts with a phosphor coating in the tubes to emit light.
Incoming solar radiation is primarily caused by the Sun's nuclear fusion processes, which emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation. This energy travels through the vacuum of space and reaches Earth, where it is absorbed, reflected, or scattered by the atmosphere and surface. The intensity and distribution of this radiation are influenced by factors such as the Earth's distance from the Sun, the angle of sunlight, and atmospheric conditions.
Infrared (IR) photos are taken with normal cameras using infrared film. The difference is the film used, not the camera. IR film is sensitive to the IR spectrum of light, not the visible spectrum.

by absorbing them and convert heat
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
The Earth receives solar energy primarily in the form of visible light and infrared radiation from the sun's surface. This energy is emitted as electromagnetic radiation due to the sun's high temperature, with wavelengths that include ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light. Visible light is crucial for photosynthesis in plants, while infrared radiation contributes to warming the Earth's surface.
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
Infrared light has lower energy compared to visible light. This is because infrared light has longer wavelengths, which correspond to lower frequencies and energies.
The sun transmits electromagnetic energy to the Earth, including visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation.
No, concrete does not absorb visible light and re-radiate it as infrared energy. Concrete reflects and scatters visible light, and it absorbs some of the heat energy from sunlight. This absorbed heat can then be released over time as infrared radiation when the concrete cools down.
Radiant energy is reflected back into space in the form of infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation. This process helps to maintain Earth's energy balance and regulates the planet's temperature.
Earth's atmosphere is mostly transparent to visible light, radio waves, and some portions of the infrared and ultraviolet spectra. This allows these forms of light energy to reach the surface of the Earth relatively unimpeded.
Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.
In the greenhouse effect, sunlight (which includes visible light) enters the Earth's atmosphere and warms the surface of the planet. This heat is then re-radiated as infrared radiation (heat energy) back towards space. However, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, causing the planet to heat up more than it would naturally.
