The sun's radiation comes as 45 percent visible light. 40 percent infared, and the remainder as Ultraviolet.

This is why the Sun is damaging to our eyes as well as skin while giving us the light we need.

Does a dog have an electromagnetic spectrum?

Yes, but in the case of solid objects that possess heat it is more proper to refer to them as black body radiators.


Which type of spectrum does the sun emit?

The sun emits a continuous spectrum, which includes all wavelengths of light across the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum results from the thermal radiation of the sun's surface.


Very low temperature molecular clouds emit most of their light in which part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Very low temperature molecular clouds emit most of their light in the far-infrared and submillimeter parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is due to the low temperatures causing the atoms and molecules in the clouds to emit radiation at longer wavelengths.


If the electron in a hydrogen atom obeyed classical mechanics instead of quantum mechanics would it emit a continuous spectrum or a line spectrum?

In some text books on physical chemistry it is stated that if an electron followed the classical laws of mechanics it would continue to emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation until it fell to the nucleus. It is not sensible to consider the spectrum of emitted electromagnetic radiation because its wavelength is a function of the Schrodinger equation under the influence of the Hamilton operator. So my only have desecrate values. A classical picture of the atom would not obey the Schrodinger equation so there is no way of predicting the way it would emit energy.


Light energy travels in electromagnetic waves How do electromagnetic waves emit energy?

Electromagnetic waves emit energy through oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space. This energy transfer occurs as the waves interact with matter, inducing changes in the atoms and molecules that absorb the energy. The absorption of electromagnetic energy can lead to heating, chemical reactions, or the generation of electrical currents.

Does electromagnetic energy transfer to light energy?

Yes, electromagnetic energy can be transformed into light energy. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation within a specific range of the electromagnetic spectrum. When an object absorbs electromagnetic energy, it can emit light as a result of this energy conversion.


What type of spectrum does a solid object emit?

A solid object will emit a continuous spectrum of light, containing a range of wavelengths. This is due to the object's atoms and molecules vibrating at various energy levels, resulting in a broad emission of electromagnetic radiation.

What type of energy the a light of a candle?

The Light of a candle is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is electromagnetic energy. It is also called radiant energy. A candle, however, can emit others kinds of energy like heat, light, sounds, kinetic energy (that makes the air move due to convection) and so on.


How are infrared waves produced?

Infrared waves are produced when objects emit energy in the form of heat due to their temperature. This thermal energy causes the atoms and molecules in the object to vibrate, generating electromagnetic waves that fall within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Which type of spectrum does the sun emit?

The sun emits a continuous spectrum, which includes all wavelengths of light across the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum results from the thermal radiation of the sun's surface.


Why does light attract heat?

It Doesn't!!! Light sources sometimes emit heat as Infra Red radiation which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, like visible light, but you can't see it. It Doesn't!!!
