Why does the Earth emit longer wave radiation than the Sun?
The Earth emits longer wavelength infrared radiation because it absorbs sunlight and re-radiates it as heat. The Sun, on the other hand, emits shorter wavelength radiation in the form of visible light because it is much hotter than the Earth.
What happens to incoming solar radiation after it is reflected off the surface of the earth?
Incoming solar radiation that is reflected off the surface of the Earth can be absorbed by atmospheric gases, clouds, or particles in the air. Some of this radiation can be scattered or absorbed by the atmosphere and re-emitted as infrared radiation. This process helps regulate the Earth's temperature and maintain the energy balance of the planet.
Is infrared a type of radiation ray?
yes so is am fm radio and tv signals
Are the radiation wavelengths emitted by the sun longer than those emitted by the earth?
The radiation emitted by the Earth peaks around 10 microns, whereas that from the sun peaks under 1 micron. This is why Earth's radiation is referred to as longwave and solar radiation as shortwave, commonly. All objects emit radiation because all objects have a temperature. In fact, using Wien's Law you can very simply calculate the wavelength, lambda, of maximum emission: lamda(max) = c/T where c is a constant (2897) and T is the temperature of the emitting surface in Kelvin.
How greenhouse gasses can be absorbed?
Greenhouse gases absorb infra red radiation (heat) coming back up from the warmed earth. They hold this heat, and in turn warm up the air around them, as well as warming the earth's surface again.
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?
Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light.
What type of electromagnetic wave has a slightly longer wavelength than red light?
Infrared radiation like heat.
What has a wavelength longer then the wavelengths of visible ight?
Infrared radiation.
Which part does reach earth - longer wavelength infrared or shorter wavelength infrared?
Longer wavelength infrared radiation reaches Earth. This type of infrared radiation is also known as thermal infrared, which is emitted by the Earth's surface and is an important component of the Earth's energy budget. Shorter wavelength infrared, such as near-infrared, is mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and does not reach the surface.
Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?
The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays
What has a longer wave length a infrared radiation or red light?
Infrared radiation has a lower frequency and longer wavelength than red light. Note that "infra" means "below" in this case referring to the lower frequency.
Which has a longer wavelength microwaves or infrared?
Microwaves have a longer wavelength than infrared radiation. Microwaves typically have wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to 1 meter, while infrared radiation has wavelengths ranging from about 0.7 micrometers to 1 millimeter.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength next to but longer than visible light?
Infrared radiation.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength next to but is longer than visible light?
Infrared is longer.
What electromagnetic wave has a slightly longer wavelength tha red light?
Infrared.
What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength slightly longer than the visible light?
infrared
What is meaning of the acronym infrared?
The word infrared is not an acronym! It refers to a wavelength of light that is slightly longer than the longest visible wavelength, which is red. Its energy content is less than red, which is what the term "infrared" means. Below red.
