What else can I help you with?
Is ultraviolet radiation the energy emitted by earth?
No, ultraviolet radiation is not emitted by the Earth itself. Ultraviolet radiation comes from the sun and is a form of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light. Earth's atmosphere filters and absorbs some of the incoming ultraviolet radiation before it reaches the surface.
Does earth emit ultraviolet radiation?
The Earth itself does not emit ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation primarily comes from the sun, which emits different wavelengths of light including ultraviolet radiation. When the Earth is exposed to sunlight, it can absorb and reflect this ultraviolet radiation.
What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?
Ultraviolet radiation has greater energy than infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.
Which country has ultraviolet radiation?
At present, Australia is said to receive high levels of ultraviolet radiation.
Is visible light a type of ultraviolet radiation?
No, it is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which ultraviolet is part of as well.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
What other forms of radiation may come from stars?
Stars can emit various forms of radiation, including ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Sun-like stars emit primarily visible light and some ultraviolet radiation. More massive stars can also emit X-rays and gamma rays.
What are some ultraviolet radiation absorbed in the upper stratosphere?
Green house gase
What did the ozone layer that filters ultraviolet radiation originated from?
The ozone layer that filters ultraviolet radiation originated from
Can ultraviolet radiation be used in heat lamps?
No, ultraviolet radiation cannot be used directly in heat lamps because ultraviolet light does not generate heat. Heat lamps typically produce infrared radiation, which is what provides the warmth. Ultraviolet radiation is more commonly used for applications like sterilization or tanning.
What are some sources of ultraviolet radiation?
The sun, stars, uv lights, and tanning beds.
What is wrong with ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet radiation can be a cause of skin cancers.
