Yes, objects below zero degrees Celsius can still emit longwave radiation, although at lower levels compared to warmer objects. This radiation, often referred to as infrared radiation, is a natural process where objects release heat in the form of electromagnetic waves.
All materials will reflect, absorb and transmit (allow to pass through) electromagnetic radiation. This is called the Transmit/Reflect (T/R) ratio and it will vary for a material based on the wavelength of the incident radiation. IR radiation does not transmit through most materials. It is absorbed/reflected. Metalized Mylar has a small transmit/reflect ratio.
Objects that do not transmit light are called opaque objects. These objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through them. Examples include wood, metal, and concrete.
Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".
No, all objects above absolute zero give out radiation. However, very hot objects emit more radiation and at higher frequencies than cooler objects.
Hotter objects emit more radiation than colder objects. The amount of radiation emitted by an object is related to its temperature: the hotter the object, the more radiation it emits. This is described by Planck's law of blackbody radiation.
The Earth emits longwave infrared thermal radiation, also known as terrestrial radiation. This is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by objects due to their temperature. It plays a crucial role in the Earth's energy balance by helping to regulate the planet's temperature.

The answer to this question is no. Radiation can occur when objects are not touching
No, all objects above absolute zero give out radiation. However, very hot objects emit more radiation and at higher frequencies than cooler objects.
Hotter objects emit more radiation than colder objects. The amount of radiation emitted by an object is related to its temperature: the hotter the object, the more radiation it emits. This is described by Planck's law of blackbody radiation.
Objects that transmit light easily are called transparent. These objects allow light to pass through them with little or no distortion. Glass and clear plastics are common examples of transparent materials.
Objects that transmit lit are?
Some common objects that transmit sound well include solid materials like metal, wood, and glass. These objects allow sound waves to pass through them efficiently, which helps in transmitting sound effectively. Additionally, objects with a smooth surface tend to transmit sound better than rough or porous surfaces.
Dark objects absorb more radiation than light objects because they reflect less light. The photons from the radiation are absorbed by the dark object, increasing its temperature. Light objects reflect more radiation, which is why they tend to stay cooler in the sun compared to dark objects.
