Is it actually true that the moon has an effect on the tide, if it does what effects does it have.

1 answer:

5 0

The tides are the result of the moon exerting its gravitational force on the ocean and bulging it both toward and away from the moon. The tide is higher, the ocean is higher, at the location closest to the moon and on the opposite side of the Earth.

As the Earth rotates, the position relative to the moon changes, so the bulge moves. At any one location the sea level goes up and goes down as the bulge passes that location. Every six hours the tide goes from high to low and high to low again. Over 24 hours you typically see two high tides and two low tides.

Answer:

Visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

Explanation:

The Sun emits a large range of electromagnetic waves, from gamma rays (higher frequencies) to radio waves (lower frequencies), through X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves. The peak of the Sun's energy output is actually in the visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

In the graph I annexed, you can see a simplified representation of the energy emissions of the Sun versus the wavelengths of those emissions. The y-axis shows the amount of energy emitted at a given wavelength and the x-axis represents different wavelengths of EM radiation. In this graph is observable than the major emission of radiation emitted by the Sun is in the visible range.
