What else can I help you with?
Is the earth a good absorber and good radiator of heat?
Yes, the Earth is a good absorber of heat, with its atmosphere and surface absorbing solar radiation. It also radiates heat back into space in the form of infrared radiation, making it a good radiator of heat. This process is essential for maintaining Earth's energy balance and regulating its temperature.
Gathers radiant energy and turns it into heat?
This could be describing a solar panel, which absorbs sunlight and converts it into heat energy or electricity. Solar panels utilize photovoltaic cells to capture solar energy and convert it into usable forms.
What changes solar energy to electrical energy?
Solar panels, made up of photovoltaic cells, convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar panels, the photons in the sunlight dislodge electrons in the semiconductor material of the cells, generating an electric current.
Why is the pipe inside the solar panel black?
The pipe inside the solar panel is usually painted black because black is a good absorber of sunlight and helps to transfer heat more efficiently. The dark color helps to increase the effectiveness of heat transfer from the sun to the fluid circulating inside the pipe, which is then used to heat water or another medium in the system.
In which sentence is the underlined clause an adverb clause Plate collectors which capture the energy from the sun are used to heat water and homes. We can harness solar energy wherever the sun shines?
The underlined clause "wherever the sun shines" is an adverb clause in the second sentence "We can harness solar energy wherever the sun shines." It modifies the verb "harness" by providing information on the conditions under which solar energy can be harnessed.
Why do you blacken the outer surface of a solar cooker?
It is because black colour is a good absorber of heat
Five solar plate project or experiment?
I make the solar plate and find witch type of componente of detales I make the solar plate and find witch type of componente of detales
What is Jupiter's axis tilt?
Axes aren't inclined, they are tilted. Orbital planes are inclined, and Jupiter's is inclined about 6 degrees from the Solar equator. Planes can also be inclined relative to the ecliptic or the invariable plane. Jupiter's axis is tilted about 3 degrees from the ecliptic.
What are the materials used for absorbing solar energy?
Any good absorber or conductor of short wave radiation like air, black substances etc. absorbs solar radiation finely as the sun emits short waves in the form of solar radiation.
What are the things in the cooker called?
A solar box cooks because the interior of the box is heated by the energy of the sun. Sunlight, both direct and reflected, enters the solar box through the glass or plastic top. It turns to heat energy when it is absorbed by the dark absorber plate and cooking pots. This heat input causes the temperature inside of the solar box cooker to rise until the heat loss of the cooker is equal to the solar heat gain. Temperatures sufficient for cooking food and pasteurizing water are easily achieved.
What are some planets in the solar system that have plate tectonics?
earth
What has the author Philip Ralph Dolley written?
Philip Ralph Dolley has written: 'Accelerated ageing and durability assessment of spectrally selective solar absorber surfaces'
Did solar water-heater function as planned?
The plans for several types of solar water heating systems, It calculates what you are spending on heating water as a function of water .Only mystery is how did he bond the copper pipes to the corrugated metal absorber?
Why is it that generally the leaves of plants is color green?
Because plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize energy from solar radiation and chlorophyll is a bad absorber of light's green wavelengths.
Why are carbon dioxide and water vapor called selective absorbers?
Any object that can specifically absorb and emit radiation (in the form of, say, infrared radiation), is called a selective absorbers. An example is: Snow. It is a good absorber of infrared radiation but poor absorber of sunligh. Object that selectively absorb radiation at some wavelength tend to radiate radiation at that same wavelength. CO2 and water vapors are both very good absorber of infrared radiation but at the same time poor absorber of different forms of solar radiation that are visible to us.
Is nitrogen a good or bad absorber of incoming solar radiation?
Yes, it absorbs solar radiation in the form of infrared rays rising from the surface of the earth. This heat is absorbed by the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4)) and this is causing global warming.
How do you capture solar energy?
Solar energy is captured in a flat metal plate or solar cells installed in your roof of your house.
