  • The wavelength range of Infrared radiation is 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter.
  • The sun emits mainly near-infrared which is mainly composed of wavelength below 4 micrometers.
  • The thermal range of infrared ranges between wavelengths 3.5 and 2.0 micrometers

Explanation:

The wavelength range of Infrared radiation is 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter. This also translates to a frequency range of 430 TeraHertz  to 300 Giga Hertz.

Because the sun is a star and is hot in comparison to earth and other planetary bodies, the bigger  range of infrared radiation it emits is in the near-infrared which is mainly composed of wavelength below 4 micrometers.

The earth's surface produces infrared radiation of the mid-infrared range while cooler substances will produce far-infrared range

The thermal range of infrared ranges between wavelengths 3.5 and 2.0 micrometers and is produced by black bodies.

If you have a block of plastic and a block of copper that are the same mass and are placed in the sun for 10 minutes. What is th
LuckyWell [14K]

INFORMATION:

Is given that:

- if you have a block of plastic and a block of copper that are the same mass and are placed in the sun for 10 minutes.

And after the 10 minutes copper has a higher temperature.

We must determine the reason.

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To determine it, we need to know the concept of specific heat

If the block of copper has a higher temperature after 10 minutes, that means copper needs less heat to raise its temperature.

So, plastic has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat plastic than copper. As a result, plastic would heat up more slowly.

ANSWER:

The explanation for the copper having a higher temperature after 10 minutes in the sun, is that plastic has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat plastic than copper. As a result, plastic would heat up more slowly. Since the copper has a lower specific heat, it will be heat quickly.
