Question

Now consider how atmospheric absorption would be different if the electromagnetic spectrum absorption capability were flipped in such a way that the areas of the chart that are now transparent were made opaque and the areas of the chart that are now opaque were made transparent. Indicate which of the following statements would be true for this scenario.
A. Radio transmissions would be an effective way of conveying information.
B. We would still be able to see the same way we do now.
C. Increased exposure to UV radiation.
D. Humans would be subject to more x-ray radiation from space because our atmosphere would not block it.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Increased exposure to UV radiation.

D. Humans would be subject to more x-ray radiation from space because our atmosphere would not block it.

Explanation:

• The electromagnetic radiation travels in a waveform and knows by the protons that form by the propagating electrical and magnetic fields and these protons undergo absorption as they transfer energy to atom within objects.

• These rays when emitted from the sun in the form of incoming short solar radiation reach the earth in one billionth of a second.

• Due to the absence of the ozone and other filters of the atmosphere the UV can dramatically impact the skin cells and would be more vulnerable to radiation exposure.
