Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves. Light is one type of radiant energy. Sunshine is radiant energy, which provides the fuel and warmth that make life on Earth possible.
<span>Heat travels from the sun by a process called radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. When infrared rays strike a material, the molecules in that material move faster. In addition to the sun, light bulbs, irons, and toasters radiate heat. When we feel heat around these items, however, we are feeling convection heat (warmed air molecules) rather than radiated heat since the heat waves strike and energize surrounding air molecules. </span>
<span>A light bulb changes the chemical energy of the bulb into electromagnetic radiation, or light. Which in return gets transformed into heat (have you ever touched a light bulb? ouch!). </span>
When you heat up coffee in a microwave, you are transforming electromagnetic energy into heat.http://www.svsu.edu/mathsci-center/uploa...
<span>People have started to utilize electromagnetic energy in the form of solar power, using solar panels to gather the radiant energy that comes from the sun and use it for electricity. For example, a pool that has solar heating panels. </span>
<span>According to Beer’s Law, A=Ebc, under ideal conditions, a substance’s concentration and its absorbance are directly proportional: a high-concentration solution absorbs more light, and solution of lower concentration absorbs less light. Since concentration and absorbance are proportional, Beer’s Law makes it possible to determine an unknown concentration of phosphate after determining the absorbance.</span>

See Explanation
Explanation:
Alpha Decay is the emission of helium nuclei (₂He⁴). That is, two protons and two neutrons are emitted. By formula equation ...
₈₂Pb²⁰⁸ => ₈₀Hg²⁰⁴ + ₂He⁴ => ₈₀Hg²⁰⁴ + (₂α⁴)⁺²
Note the sum of superscripts & subscripts of reactants (₈₂Pb²⁰⁸) must equal sum of superscripts & subscripts of products (₈₀Hg²⁰⁴ + ₂He⁴); that is ...
∑mass reactants = ∑mass products => 208 = 204 + 4
∑atomic no. reactants = ∑atomic no. products => 82 (Pb) = 80 (Hg) + 2 (α⁺²)
Hope this helps. Doc :-)
