Which type of land surface will most likely absorb the greatest amount of incoming solar radiation?
Rough,light colored surface
Which radiation is most common on earth?
Solar radiation is the most common type of radiation on earth. The earth also emits thermal radiation from its crust as a result of decaying of uranium.
What makes up most of earth's energy?
Solar radiation makes up most of earth's energy.
Which receives the most solar radiation the tropics the polar zones the oceans or the temperate zones?
Ocean
Which two types of surface on earth are most important absorbing solar energy and keepig the planet warm?
One surface type on Earth that helps absorb solar energy and keeps the planet warm is water. Another surface type that helps keep the planet warm by absorbing solar energy is vegetated land.
What material would absorb the most solar radiation?
black steel
When is solar radiation most intense?
Solar radiation is most intense at noon.
Is food and drink a natural source of radiation?
Most background radiation comes from natural sources, while most artificial radiation, plants absorb radioactive materials from the soil and these pass up the food chain.
Which type of land surface will most likely absorb the greatest amount of incoming solar radiation?
Rough,light colored surface
What solar radiation is the most powerful?
Ultraviolet radiation
What colours absorb most radiation?
visible
What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?
Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
Which materials absorb most sound?
metal
How much radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The atmosphere absorbs most of the radiation. The ozone layer absorbs most of the UV rays.
What does the tropical zone receive the most?
Solar radiation.
Which object or material reflects infrared rays?
All materials will reflect, absorb and transmit (allow to pass through) electromagnetic radiation. This is called the Transmit/Reflect (T/R) ratio and it will vary for a material based on the wavelength of the incident radiation. IR radiation does not transmit through most materials. It is absorbed/reflected. Metalized Mylar has a small transmit/reflect ratio.
What type of solar radiation does the ozone layer absorb?
UV-C and UV-B, as most of the more energetic wavelengths are gone before the ozone layer. credit goes to ANSWERS
