What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the maximum wavelength at which electromagnetic radiation can occur?
The maximum wavelength at which electromagnetic radiation can occur is infinite.
How do you find the wavelength of gamma radiation?
You can find the wavelength of gamma radiation using the equation: wavelength (λ) = speed of light (c) / frequency (ν). The frequency of gamma radiation is typically given in hertz (Hz).
What has the shortest wavelength in radiation?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What has the longest wavelength 1- Ultraviolet radiation 2- Gamma Radiation 3- Visible radiation 4- Infrared radiation?
Infra-red radiation. Listed in acending order of wavelength: 2. Gamma 1. Ultraviolet 3. Visible light 4. Infra-red
What is the relationship between shortwave radiation and time of day?
The relationship between the shortwave radiation and the time of the day is that both depend with the latitude.
Is the earths radiation shortwave or longwave?
Earth's radiation is primarily longwave. Shortwave radiation from the sun enters the Earth's atmosphere, where some is absorbed and re-radiated as longwave radiation. This longwave radiation is what is emitted back out into space.
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.
What region with shortwave and longwave solar radiation?
The equatorial region typically receives higher amounts of shortwave solar radiation due to more direct sunlight throughout the year. Polar regions receive lower amounts of shortwave radiation but can experience higher levels of longwave radiation due to the reflection of sunlight off ice and snow.
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.
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 is UV-C?
If you are talking about light, then UV-C is a shortwave Ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength range 280 nm - 100 nm and can be used for disinfection of many different things like air, water or surfaces.
Does sunlight come in longwave radiation or shortwave?
Wein's Displacement Law explains the difference between long and shortwave radiation. Shortwave radiation has shorter, more high energy wavelengths (stronger with less distance to travel) while longwave radiation travels farther, but has less energy. Earth's radiation is 20 times longer than the maximum solar radiation, so it is referred to as longwave, while solar energy is referred to as shortwave radiation.
How do greenhouse gases absorb shortwave radiation?
Greenhouse gases absorb shortwave radiation by allowing it to pass through the Earth's atmosphere and reach the surface. Once the radiation hits the surface, it is absorbed and re-emitted as longwave radiation. Greenhouse gases then trap this longwave radiation, preventing it from escaping back into space and causing the Earth's temperature to rise.
Will people be affected by electromagnetic radiation?
that depends on the wavelength of the radiation. the shorter the wavelength the more damage it can do.
What is the maximum wavelength at which electromagnetic radiation can occur?
The maximum wavelength at which electromagnetic radiation can occur is infinite.
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.
