Radiant energy is very cheap and creates the same amount of electricity as other resources. Yet radiant energy can harm skin and cause skin cancer.

Example of radiant energy?

i don't know but do good on that test kid!just jocking radint energy (light energy) is like when the sun's energy comes to us as radiant heat, clearly there is nothing between sun and earth that can carry the heat energy by other means.


Advantages and disadvantages of radiant energy?

Radiant energy, also known as electromagnetic radiation, has several advantages including its ability to travel through a vacuum, such as space, and its high speed. It is also versatile, with a wide range of applications in technologies like solar panels and communication systems. However, a major disadvantage is that some forms of radiant energy, such as ultraviolet and X-rays, can be harmful to living organisms if not properly controlled or shielded against. Additionally, the intensity of radiant energy can vary greatly, leading to challenges in harnessing it efficiently for practical use.


Is radiant energy bad for your body?

That depends very much on what kind of radiant energy and how much of it you get. A large dose of radiant gamma radiation is very unhealthy. A moderate amount of sunshine (which is radiant energy) is good for you and promotes the production of vitamin D. Too much UV radiation will give you sunburn and can cause skin cancer.


What materials are good reflector of radiant heat?

Materials such as aluminum, copper, and silver are good reflectors of radiant heat due to their high thermal reflectivity. These materials have the ability to reflect a high percentage of heat energy, making them effective in reducing thermal transfer.


Why does a good absorber of radiant energy appear black?

In short, because they "don't reflect'." A matte surface isn't smooth; it has a surface that does not fully reflect light/radiation; the surface looks dull because there's little reflection. A smooth surface will reflect because it's smooth (glass-like) and will reflect or bounce light away from its surface. The surface looks shiny because of the reflection. The color of the surface matters because the darker the color, the more light/radiation is absorbed. Lighter colors reflect light; darker colors absorb light.

Good things about tidal?

The Good thing about tidal energy is that is a very clean for of energy. Tidal energy is also renewable. Tidal energy plants could be place along the coast.

What is the definition of radiant energy?

It means that something or someone is so bright and shiny that they radiate light. The word radiant usually means something that has a very bright light, radium is named because it gives light.
