How are oblique rays different from vertical rays?
Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)
What are the three types of asymptotes?
Three types of asymptotes are oblique/slant, horizontal, and vertical
What are the Highest frequency rays?
Gamma rays.
Do all rays sting?
No not a rays sting
How does the mass to charge ratio of cathode rays compare to that of anode rays?
it varies because charge to mass ratio of positive rays depends upon gases used in the discharge tube.its varies from gas to gas.
All of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrives as oblique rays?
No, not all of the solar energy intercepted by the Earth arrives as oblique rays. The angle of the sun’s rays varies depending on the latitude, time of year, and time of day. At the equator, for example, the sun’s rays are more direct, while at higher latitudes, the rays are more oblique.

Oblique rays are different from vertical rays because they?
They contain more solar energy!
How oblique rays are different from vertical rays?
These two types of rays differ in their Angles of Incidence: vertical rays bounce down and then right back up into themselves while oblique rays bounce off at different angles (vectors) from the incident angle of the incoming rays, also called waves. Compare this to horizontal rays that while sent out side to side, if they do not hit a mountain range, they will wave away indefinitely forever.
Are all of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrive as oblique rays?
No, not all solar energy intercepted by the Earth arrives as oblique rays. Solar energy reaches the Earth in the form of parallel rays, but the angle at which these rays strike the surface varies based on the Earth's curvature and its axial tilt. This variation causes some regions to receive sunlight more directly (perpendicular rays) while others receive it at an angle (oblique rays). Consequently, the intensity of solar energy varies across different locations and times of the year.
What is the colder at high latitudes because the sun's rays strike earths surface at a angle there?
Oblique
Why do the vertical solar rays produce more heat?
Because vertical solar rays are less oblique during Sumner and are concentrated over smaller areas
Why are oblique rays so different from vertical rays?
Oblique rays hit the Earth's surface at an angle, spreading the same amount of sunlight over a larger area, resulting in less intensity. Vertical rays, on the other hand, hit the surface perpendicularly, concentrating the sunlight on a smaller area, leading to higher intensity. This difference in intensity affects the amount of heat and light received at the surface.
What is the relation between oblique and vertical incidence?
Oblique incidence applies to rays that are incident at some angle OTHER THAN at right angles (90 degrees) to the surface on which they are incident. Vertical incidence IS at right angles.
How does vertical and oblique sun rays affect temperature of the Earth?
Vertical sun rays, received near the equator, result in higher temperatures as the energy is more concentrated on a smaller surface area. Oblique sun rays, received near the poles, lead to lower temperatures as the energy is spread across a larger surface area, causing less heating. The angle at which the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface influences the amount of energy absorbed and subsequently impacts the temperature.
Does the equator receive oblique rays?
Sure. A single point on the equator receives direct solar rays at one instant of time sometime around March 21. Another single point on the equator receives direct solar rays at another instant of time sometime around September 22. Those two points receive oblique/indirect solar rays at all other times, and all other points on the equator receive them at all times.
In the northern hemisphere the suns rays are spread out over a greater area?
In the northern hemisphere, the sun's rays strike the Earth at a more oblique angle, especially during winter months. This oblique angle causes the rays to be spread over a larger surface area, resulting in less concentrated solar energy per unit area. Consequently, this leads to cooler temperatures compared to regions where the sun's rays hit more directly. Additionally, this phenomenon contributes to the seasonal variations in climate experienced across different latitudes.
