No, infrared radiation is actually considered a type of longwave radiation. It falls between visible light and microwave radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum.

What is the wavelength of shortwave radiation?

Shortwave radiation typically refers to solar radiation, which has a wavelength range between 0.1 to 4 micrometers. This includes ultraviolet (UV), visible, and near-infrared light. Each type of radiation within this spectrum has a specific range of wavelengths.


Does infra red radiaton change the temperature of glass?

Infrared radiation can heat up glass by increasing the kinetic energy of its molecules, causing the temperature of the glass to rise. Glass is not a good conductor of heat, so it tends to retain the heat absorbed from infrared radiation for a longer period of time compared to other materials.


A Device used to detect heat radiaton is known as?

A device used to detect heat radiation is known as a thermal camera or an infrared camera. These cameras detect infrared radiation emitted by objects and convert it into a visual image that can be used to identify hot spots or temperature differences.


Greenhouse effect events in order starting with lights origin?

Incident infrared radiation is blocked. Visible and ultraviolet radiation heat Earth. Earth radiates infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is blocked and heats Earth. Visible and shortwave radiation heat Earth.Earth radiates longwave radiationLongwave radiation is reflected downward Longwave radiation heats Earth


What happens to the shortwave radiation that reaches Earth's surface and is not reflected?

The shortwave radiation that reaches Earth's surface and is not reflected is absorbed by the surface, warming it up.

Does a candle emits infrared radiaton?

Yes, a candle emits infrared radiation as a form of heat energy. The flame of a candle produces a mix of visible light, heat, and infrared radiation as it burns.

Are shortwave radio receivers obsolete?

No, not at all. Shortwave listening is a very popular hobby. You can buy ready-made or build-it-yourself shortwave radios. However, as a lifelong shortwave listener, there is, admittedly, less to listen to on shortwave today that formerly.

Most of the radiation incident upon the Earth falls within the?

Most of the radiation incident upon the Earth falls within the visible and near-infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What is the greenhouse gas that absorbs the sun's incoming shortwave radiation?

No greenhouse gas absorbs the sun's incoming shortwave radiation. All the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, CFCs etc) absorb the outgoing longwave infrared radiation from the warmed surface of the earth.

Visible and shortwave radiation heat Earth?

Yes it is. Visible light or Shortwave are radiation and it contain energy, when these radiation hit earth surface some fraction of radiation is absorb and transform from radiation energy to thermal energy.


What are the differences between long wave radiation and shortwave radiation in terms of their impact on the Earth's atmosphere?

Longwave radiation refers to infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface and atmosphere, which can be absorbed by greenhouse gases and contribute to warming the atmosphere. Shortwave radiation, such as sunlight, is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-emitted as longwave radiation. This difference in wavelengths affects how energy is distributed in the atmosphere, with longwave radiation playing a key role in the greenhouse effect and shortwave radiation driving the Earth's climate system.
