Sun warms the earth with Electromagnetic Radiations.

Sun emits out short range radiation in the form of Electromagnetic (EM) Radiation. Our Atmosphere is transparent to EM radiation. It does not heats up the atmosphere but when it collide with the solid objects or particles it is absorbed, reflected or refracted and the object heats up and start emitting radiation in the form of long wave radiation. Our Earth does the same. The long wave radiation emitted by the earth surface is absorbed by our atmosphere and it heats up. Therefore, we can say our atmosphere is heated from below.

Equal amounts of heat are added to equal masses of ice and copper at the same initial temperature. Which substance will have the
pychu [463]

One of the major effects of heat transfer is temperature change: heating increases the temperature while cooling decreases it. We assume that there is no phase change and that no work is done on or by the system. Experiments show that the transferred heat depends on three factors—the change in temperature, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase of the substance.

Figure a shows a copper-colored cylinder of mass m and temperature change delta T. The heat Q, shown as a wavy rightward horizontal arrow, is transferred to the cylinder from the left. To the right of this image is a similar image, except that the heat transferred Q prime is twice the heat Q. The temperature change of this second cylinder, which is also labeled m, is two delta T. This cylinder is surrounded by small black wavy lines radiating outward. Figure b shows the same two cylinders as in Figure a. The left cylinder is labeled m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing at it from the left that is labeled Q. The right cylinder is labeled two m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing to it from the left labeled Q prime equals two Q. Figure c shows the same copper cylinder of mass m and with temperature change delta T, with heat Q being transferred to it. To the right of this cylinder, Q prime equals ten point eight times Q is being transferred to another cylinder filled with water whose mass and change in temperature are the same as that of the copper cylinder.

True or False? Gases such as water vapor condense when they are *heated*.
scoundrel [369]

That statement is <em>false</em>.  

"Condense" is what a gas does when it turns into liquid, and that's something that happens when the gas is cooled, not heated.
