Question

Where is long-wavelength radiation created?

Answer 1

On the earth surface

Explanation:

The long-wavelength radiation is created on the earth surface when electromagnetic radiation is re-emitted.

• The sun releases radiation in form of short-wave.
• They are usually more energetic and with short wavelength and a high frequency.
• When they interact with materials on the earth, they are radiated back as long-wavelength radiation that usually causes heat.
• Ultraviolet rays and other high energy waves are emitted from the sun because it is a very hot body.
• When these radiations enters the earth, they are re-radiated back as long waves with lower energy.
• Earth is cooler than the sun
• When some of the short waves for example, the ultraviolet rays gets to the surface, it is absorbed and re-radiated back.
• When the short waves are absorbed, they lose some of their their energy to the earth surface.
• The remainder is radiated back as less energetic long waves.
• The hotter a body is, the more energetic the radiation it releases.
