What else can I help you with?
Which kind of light rays causes the earth to get the warmest?
Infrared Heat.
Optical telescopes are designed to collect and create images from is it white or visible light or x rays or infrared radiation or gamma rays?
An "optical" telescope would naturally collect light from optical wavelengths, meaning visible light from ~400-800nm.
What happens to the energy wasted in a light bulb?
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.
How does an infra-red camera work?
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.
What is the scientific term for light energy?
Light is the visible spectrum of electromagnetic energy.
How visible light and infrared energy warms earth?
by absorbing them and convert heat
Transfer of energy from the sun to earth's surface?
That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.
What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
What photon has lower energy infared or 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.
What type of energy does the sun transmit to earth?
The sun transmits electromagnetic energy to the Earth, including visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
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.
Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?
Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.
Earth's atmosphere is mostly transparent to which forms of light energy?
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.
In what form is radiant energy reflected back into space?
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.
Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red?
Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red is infrared light.
How is visible light convert to infrared in greenhouse effect?
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.
