Is ultraviolet radiation the energy emitted by earth?
no
What is another name for ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light is also known as UV light. Ultraviolet light is electromagnetic radiation wavelengths and is emitted in black lights, tanning lamps and sunlight.
Sunscreen is used to protect the skin from exposure to which type of solar radiation Visible X-rays Infrared Ultraviolet Microwaves?
Sunscreen is used to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation emitted primarily by our sun. The ozone layer also protects us from ultraviolet rays, however the current problems with holes in the ozone layer makes wearing sunscreen almost essential if one is going to be outside for an extended period of time.
What atmospheric area is responsible for absorbing the most UV radiation?
The ozone layer high above the Earth blocks most of the ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by the Sun. This radiation is generally harmful to living things.
What type of radiation is emitted from Iridium-192?
The radiation emited is gamma ray
Is ultraviolet radiation the energy emitted by earth?
no
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
Which layer of the skin is associated with protection from the ultraviolet light?
The O-zone layer protects us from UV rays emitted from the sun.
Which layer of the earth atmosphere protects the earth from dangerous ultraviolet raditions of the sun?
Dangerous Ultraviolet radiations are the ones emitted from sun. These are protected by ozone.
What is a form of oxygen that protects us from high-energy radiation emitted by the sun?
Ozone
What is another name for ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light is also known as UV light. Ultraviolet light is electromagnetic radiation wavelengths and is emitted in black lights, tanning lamps and sunlight.
The amount of ultraviolet radiation hitting the Earth's surface is greatly reduced by which gas in the atmosphere?
Short wavelength radiation such as Ultraviolet fall to absorption spectrum band of Ozone. Ozone absorb UV and re-emitted the radiation in the range of infrared or thermal range radiation.
Definition of fluorescence?
The visible or invisible radiation emitted by certain substances as a result of incident radiation of a shorter wavelength such as X-rays or ultraviolet light.
Sunscreen is used to protect the skin from exposure to which type of solar radiation Visible X-rays Infrared Ultraviolet Microwaves?
Sunscreen is used to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation emitted primarily by our sun. The ozone layer also protects us from ultraviolet rays, however the current problems with holes in the ozone layer makes wearing sunscreen almost essential if one is going to be outside for an extended period of time.
How many astropheres does earth have?
The Earth has only one atmosphere. It is divided into four parts. The troposphere is the lowest and densest layer, where all of Earth's weather occurs. Next is the stratosphere, which contains the ozone layer. This layer absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation that is emitted from the sun. Above the stratosphere are the mesosphere and the ionosphere. These layers are very thin and are full of ions, atoms that have lost or gained electrons.
How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
What atmospheric area is responsible for absorbing the most UV radiation?
The ozone layer high above the Earth blocks most of the ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by the Sun. This radiation is generally harmful to living things.
