Short-wavelength radiation, such as ultraviolet and X-rays, can have harmful effects on living organisms. It can damage DNA, cause skin burns, and increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Protection measures, like sunscreen and protective clothing, are important when exposed to short-wavelength radiation.
What else can I help you with?
How does does solar radiation and infrared radiation interact with earth?
Solar radiation from the sun interacts with the Earth's atmosphere, warming the surface. Some of this energy is radiated back into space as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, causing a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
The increase in frequency of an approaching source of electromagnetic radiation is termed the?
Doppler effect
What is the name of the process in which the black 'fuel effect' lumps transfer thermal energy to the room?
The process is called radiation. The black fuel effect lumps emit infrared radiation that transfers thermal energy to the objects and occupants in the room, heating them up.
What type of radiation has the greatest ionising effect?
Gamma radiation has the greatest ionizing effect among the different types of radiation. It consists of high-energy photons that can penetrate deeply into tissues and cells, causing extensive damage by ionizing atoms and molecules along its path.
Which electromagnetic waves from the sun produce a heating effect?
Infrared radiation from the sun produces a heating effect on the Earth's surface. This radiation is responsible for warming the planet and heating objects on the surface.
What effect did radiation have on the general appearance of the seedlings?
What effect did radiation have on the general appearance of the seedlings
What has the author David Sumner written?
David Sumner has written: 'Radiation risks' -- subject(s): Physiological effect, Effect of radiation on, Cells, Radiation
What is the source of radiation for both the earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect?
The Sun is the primary source of radiation for both the Earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation enters the atmosphere, warms the Earth's surface, and is re-radiated as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, leading to the greenhouse effect.
How can radiation have an ionizing effect?
Radiation can excite an electron sufficiently for the electron to leave the atom, thus having an ionizing effect.
What is the effect from a radiation?
the radiation can cause the brain damage so it is really hamful.
What has the author Devera Pine written?
Devera Pine has written: 'Cool tips for a hot season' -- subject(s): Physiological effect, Ultraviolet radiation, Effect of radiation on, Solar radiation, Skin
What is the environmental and health effect of radiation?
being exposed to radiation could cause cancer.
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What type of radiation is trapped on earth's surface by green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What gas absorbs infrared radiation and contributes to the greenhouse effect?
The gas that absorbs infrared radiation and contributes to the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide (CO2).
What form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?
There are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection and radiation. The heat transfer caused by the greenhouse effect is radiation.
What type of radiation is trapped on the Earth's surface by the Greenhouse effect?
Infrared radiation is the type of radiation that gets trapped on Earth's surface by the greenhouse effect. This radiation is emitted by the Earth's surface in response to the incoming solar radiation and is absorbed and re-emitted by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the planet.
