Why can infrared telescopes operate from high flying aircraft and high mountain tops whereas Xray telescopes must be place in orbit?
Current telescopes detect different wavelengths of "light," which, in general, is called electromagnetic radiation. Earth's atmosphere is transparent to infrared radiation - it can easily transmit though our atmosphere. Therefore we can easily detect it from within Earth's atmosphere. However, X-Rays do not easily transmit through the Earth's atmosphere, so we must place our X-Ray detectors OUTSIDE of our atmosphere, ie. in orbit around the earth.
The 3 factors which are important in protecting individuals from radiation are?
The three key factors important in protecting individuals from radiation are time, distance, and shielding. Reducing the time spent near a radiation source decreases exposure, while increasing the distance from the source significantly lowers radiation intensity due to the inverse square law. Additionally, using appropriate shielding materials can effectively absorb or block radiation, further minimizing exposure risks. Together, these factors help ensure safety in environments where radiation is present.
Who is the secretary of block samiti in the villages of India?
The Secretary of Block Samiti in the village of India is called Sabhadhipati.
What is the duration of Attack the Block?
The duration of Attack the Block is 1.47 hours.
When was MSNBC Doc Block created?
MSNBC Doc Block was created in 2006-07.
How has the earths atmosphere changed?
The earths atmosphere has significantly altered over the years. The process of the earth's atmosphere was recognized and evolved 2.7 billion years ago, forming the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that exists today. This change enabled the formation and beginning of the ozone layer (which along with magnetic fields) block solar radiation.
Why does earths atmostsphere have the ability to block outgoing long wave infrared radiation after allowing incoming short waves pass through?
The earth's atmosphere/plasma acts as a reflector for long wave infrared radiation.
Which gas can block UV radiation in the upper atmosphere?
The upper atmosphere is also known as the stratosphere. The gas that can block ultra-violet radiation in the stratosphere (a.k.a. upper atmosphere) is ozone.
What effect does dust and dirt have on earths radiation?
They tends to block incoming solar radiation, thereby cooling the surface. They don't really impact Earth's longwave radiation.
Does earth's atmosphere block all uv radiation from space?
No, Earth's atmosphere does not block all UV radiation from space. It does absorb a portion of the UV radiation, particularly the most harmful UV-C rays. However, UV-A and UV-B rays are able to penetrate the atmosphere to some extent and reach the Earth's surface.
How has earth atmosphere changes since it first formed?
The earths atmosphere has significantly altered over the years. The process of the earth's atmosphere was recognized and evolved 2.7 billion years ago, forming the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that exists today. This change enabled the formation and beginning of the ozone layer (which along with magnetic fields) block solar radiation.
Which layer of the atmosphere averages 8 miles above the earths surface?
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that averages about 8 miles above the Earth's surface. This layer contains the ozone layer, which helps to absorb and block harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
The solar radiation least absorbed by the layers of the atmosphere before reaching Earth is?
Ultraviolet radiation is the solar radiation least absorbed by the layers of the atmosphere before reaching Earth. This is due to the ozone layer, which helps to absorb and block a significant portion of the incoming ultraviolet radiation.
How does solar radiation reach the surface of the earth?
Solar radiation reaches the surface of the Earth through the process of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Sun. This radiation travels through space and reaches Earth's atmosphere, where it penetrates and warms the surface of the planet. The atmosphere helps block harmful radiation while allowing sunlight to reach the surface.
Does the atmosphere block the earth from receiving electromagnetic radiation?
The Earth's atmosphere does not completely block electromagnetic radiation; it selectively absorbs and scatters different wavelengths. For instance, it effectively filters out harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation while allowing visible light to pass through. Certain atmospheric gases, like ozone, play a crucial role in protecting the surface from excessive radiation. However, some longer wavelengths, such as radio waves, can penetrate the atmosphere more easily.
What is one purpose that the atmosphere serves?
The atmosphere serves to block many harmful waves radiating from outer space. It also traps some infrared radiation which warms the earth.
What to layers of the atmosphere protect us?
Fine, I'll answer your homework question. The layers in the atmosphere block solar radiation, debris such as meteors from space, and allow the force of gravity to exist.
