What type of radiation is responsible for heating effect in sunlight?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The Sun emits infrared radiation, as well as a broad spectrum of other rays of electromagnetic radiation. It is the infrared band, that just beyond (and just longer in wavelength) what we see as the color red, which reacts with matter to increase its temperature. Infrared from sunlight heats the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

What is provides the warmth in sunlight?
The warmth of sunlight is an effect of the absorption of the electromagnetic radiation by a surface. If an object were totally transparent or totally reflective, the sunlight would not warm it up.
Why Radio waves and microwaves are non ionizing radiation?
Because they don't have enough energy (or a short enough wavelength) to knock electrons off of atoms (ionization).
Who found heating effect of electric current?
Joule showed the heating effect due to the resistence of wire which cary the current.
State the situations where heating effect of electric current is undesirable?
negative effect of science .. with picture
What are the advantage and disadvantages of heating effect of current?
Disadvantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: short circuits, house fires, and explosions. Advantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: electric light, toasting food, and keeping a room warm.
What is the heating effect of a medium that is transparent to the short wave length radiation of sunlight but opaque to the long wave terrestrial radiation?
ultraviolet rays
How does a light bulb demonstrate the heating effect?
by the radiation in the filament it throw out heat . this way the bulb demonstrates the heating effect. :D

The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is call what?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What is the heating lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat absorbing gases is called?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What is the heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat absorbing gases called?
The Greenhouse Effect.
How does long wavelength radiation contribute to the greenhouse effect?
The trapping by the greenhouse gases of the long wavelength radiation (infrared) leads to more heating and a higher resultant temperature.
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called?
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. Water vapor and carbon dioxide are the two most important heat absorbing gases in the lower atmosphere.
What is what is the earths atmosphere heated by?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
What is The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed y certain heat absorbing gases is called what?
the green house effect
Why are the astronaut suits insulated?
Space is cold!Sunlight is very intense in space, causing rapid heating of exposed surfaces. Spacesuits are white to reduce this solar heating effect, but it doesn't eliminate it.
what is the trapping of heat by earth's atmosphere?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
