What else can I help you with?
What is a gas planet made out of?
Gas planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of other gases like methane and ammonia. These planets lack a solid surface and instead have thick atmospheres that extend many thousands of kilometers into space.
Night Vision goggles use waves to locate people in the dark?
Night vision goggles work by detecting and amplifying ambient light, including infrared light not visible to the human eye. This allows users to see in low-light or no-light conditions. The goggles do not emit waves to locate people, but instead enhance existing light sources in the environment.
What insulates our earth from the deep cold of space?
Our atmosphere helps keep our planet insulated. It helps to trap heat on the surface instead of allowing it to be completely reflected back into space.
Can gamma rays be used on solar panels?
Yes they can be used to increase efficiency. Gamma are a form of un visible light waves, and work day and night. To harness them , you will need to consider using gas instead of silicon for electron spitting, check stanley meyers work out.
What are the two planets give off more energy than they receive from the sun?
Here you go! I did not know this either...cool! I can tell you have an accent - maybe another language, so I searched it for you... http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/planet_worldbook_update.html You will have to copy and paste the url...Good luck! The part you want to read is the first part "Planets," and the fifth or sixth paragraph says, "The outer four planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune-are called gas giants or Jovian (Jupiterlike) planets. They have gaseous atmospheres and no solid surfaces. All four Jovian planets consist mainly of hydrogen and helium. Smaller amounts of other materials also occur, including traces of ammonia and methane in their atmospheres. They range from 3.9 times to 11.2 times Earth's diameter and from 15 times to 318 times Earth's mass. Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune give off more energy than they receive from the sun. Most of this extra energy takes the form of infrared radiation, which is felt as heat, instead of visible light. Scientists think the source of some of the energy is probably the slow compression of the planets by their own gravity." This is a NASA website, si is a credible source! Have fun! Jeannie
Is infrared ionising?
Infrared radiation is not ionizing because it does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. Instead, infrared radiation mainly causes molecular vibrations and rotations, leading to the heating of materials.
How can your bodies detect infrared?
Our bodies cannot directly detect infrared radiation. Instead, some animals, such as snakes, have specialized organs called pit organs that can detect infrared radiation as heat. These pit organs are located on the heads of snakes and help them locate prey and navigate their environment.
What form of radiation heats up the Earths atmosphere?
infrared rays
How is radiation unique and different from the other two forms of transfer?
Radiation is distinct from conduction and convection as it does not require a medium to transfer heat. Instead, it can occur through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation. Radiation is also not affected by the temperature difference between two objects and can travel through a vacuum.
Which form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?
Any and all objects that are warm emit electro-magnetic [radiated] waves in the Infra-Red range of E-M frequencies. IR radiation is stopped from 'Escaping' Into Outer Space, and remains instead Our Unwelcome Guest. radiation A+
Hi what is a TSOP sensor and why use it instead of IR transmitter-receiver?
The TSOP is a series of infrared receiver which is capable of receiving infrared radiation modulated at 36kHz only. This can be advantageous in many situations such that stay radiation hardly affect the receiver/sensor. I should also tell you that the TSOP is a receiver, not an emitter. You can use any infrared emitter, and modulate the signal by providing an electric signal of 36kHz to the IRED or whatever you are using. Ashaan.
Heat transfer through radiation?
Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require a medium like air or water. Instead, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation. Objects emit and absorb radiation based on their temperature and surface properties. An example is the warmth you feel from the sun's rays even though there is no direct contact.
Is infared radiation ionic or non ionic?
Infrared radiation is non-ionic because it consists of electromagnetic waves that do not involve the transfer of charged particles like ions. Instead, it represents a form of energy that is emitted and absorbed by molecules without causing any ionization processes.
How would the police use knowledge about radiant energy to find a child lost in the woods at night?
The best tool for finding a child lost in the woods at night is a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) device or system incorporated into a helicopter. All people emit infrared radiation, which is invisible but very close to the red end of the spectrum of visible radiation (light). The FLIR system has a camera on the outside of the helicopter which is sensitive to infrared wavelengths, and a TV-type monitor in the cockpit. Because the infrared is emitted instead of simply reflected, and because the strength of the emitted infrared radiation is proportional to the amount of heat the body emits, it is extremely easy to see people in the converted images. They appear completely white against a background of various shades of dark gray.
Why does electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represent a larger energy transition than does radiation in the infared region?
Well, it's hard not to say "It's just the way it is", because it follows a law of Physics, but I'll try to explain the best I can.Up the electromagnetic spectrum is this order. Radio, Microwave, Infrared, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma. The higher up the radiation, the smaller the wavelength (the length of the wave, intuitively), and the higher the frequency (the amount of "waving" done in a second).Since frequency (aforementioned) is directly proportional to Energy with the equation E=hf (or instead of "f", "v" as wikipedia loves to call it), it makes sense that the higher the frequency, the higher the energy per photon. Right?UV is definitely above infrared in this case, and has been repeatedly proven through experiments to be on a higher tier than infrared radiation.
What type of radiation does the earth emit?
Its the thermal energy that the Earth emits. Radiation is essentially another word for heat. There is also solar radiation which is simply the heat from the sun. The Earth actually emits far less thermal energy than what is taken in from by the sun and absorbed into the atmosphere. On the other hand there are planets like Jupiter whose surface temperature is mostly comprised of heat from thermal energy instead of solar radiation.
Why the green house gases only absorb uv rays?
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor primarily absorb infrared radiation (heat) rather than ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays are shorter wavelength electromagnetic waves that can cause sunburn and damage DNA, but greenhouse gases have minimal absorption in the UV region. Instead, they trap and re-emit long-wave radiation (infrared), which warms the Earth's atmosphere.
