In the simple case, yes. When there are lenses involved the answer is far more complicated.

Why is terrestrial radiation weaker than solar radiation?

Terrestrial radiation is weaker than solar radiation primarily because it originates from the Earth's surface, which absorbs solar energy and re-emits it as infrared radiation. This radiation is lower in energy compared to solar radiation, which includes a broad spectrum of wavelengths, including ultraviolet and visible light. Additionally, the Earth's atmosphere absorbs and scatters some of this terrestrial radiation, further diminishing its intensity compared to the direct energy received from the sun. As a result, solar radiation is significantly more potent and has a greater impact on the Earth's climate and ecosystems.


Are beta wavelengths stronger than visible light?

Beta wavelengths are not stronger than visible light. In fact, beta waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency and energy than visible light, but they are generally weaker in terms of their ability to penetrate materials and cause biological damage compared to visible light.


What is the solar radiation on Saturn?

Saturn receives significantly less solar radiation compared to Earth due to its distance from the Sun. The solar radiation it receives is much weaker, making it a colder planet with an average temperature of -288 degrees Fahrenheit (-178 degrees Celsius).


Which planet's gravitional attraction to the sun is weaker?

All the planets outside Earth experience a weaker gravity pull from the Sun. Neptune at a distance of 30 astronomical units is 30 times further from the Sun, and gravity from the Sun is 1/900 as strong.


What basic force is so small it has no chemical significance?

The weak nuclear force is a fundamental force of nature that is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and plays a role in certain types of radioactive decay.

Does a magnetic field strengthen on weekend as you move away from the eletromagnet?

No, the strength of a magnetic field does not increase as you move away from the electromagnet. The strength of a magnetic field decreases with distance from the source, following the inverse square law. This means that the magnetic field weakens as you move further away from the electromagnet.

Non polar substance are stronger or weaker?

they are weaker because the ions of substance have low electromagnetic which have covalent character to be low.


Why can it be said that 'magnetism has no limits'?

This is because out of the four fundamental forces (strong, weak, electromagnetic, gravity) magnetism comes under the electromagnetic force. This has an infinite range so for this reason i think it is said to be without limits. Although the range is infinite, the further you are from the force, the weaker it is. It follows something called the inverse square law. so, if you move twice as far from the source, its intensity will be a quarter of what it was before.


How does distance affect intensity?

Distance affects intensity by following the inverse square law, which states that as distance from a source increases, the intensity of the source decreases by the square of the distance. This means that the further you are from a source of intensity, the weaker the intensity will be.


Why does sound get weaker as it travels?

Sound gets weaker as it travels because it spreads out in all directions, causing the energy to be distributed over a larger area. This leads to a decrease in the intensity of the sound waves, resulting in lower volume the further you are from the sound source.


What is the main type of electromagnetic that makes up the solar radiation that reaches earth?

Well techinichally it is just a radiation that comes from the sun and the readiation is a electromagnetic field


What changes will result in a weaker electromagnet?

Increasing the resistance in the wire, reducing the number of coils in the electromagnet, and using a weaker power source will all result in a weaker electromagnet.


Is there any place on the earth without or the least level of radio frequency- electromagnteic waves to live healthier where is this place in Europe?

No, there's no place on earth with no radio frequency (RF) radiation whatsoever. And if there were it would not be in Europe. Anywhere with dense population is likely to have more electromagnetic energy around. But avoiding radio waves won't make you healthier. The energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency, and the photons of RF radiation are billions of times weaker (more harmless) than those of the infrared radiation that any warm object (such as a human being) gives off, and they're trillions of times weaker than ordinary sunlight, not even counting the ultra-violet, which is really the first part of the spectrum that poses a danger to your health.


Why can you jumper further on the moon than the earth?

Because of the weaker on the moon.


What is the loss of a signals strength as it travels away from its source?

The loss of a signal's strength as it travels away from its source is known as attenuation. Attenuation can be caused by factors such as distance, obstacles, interference, and the medium through which the signal is traveling. As a signal travels further from its source, it experiences a decrease in power and may become weaker or distorted.
