  • 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.

A balloon is filled with 12 L of air at a pressure of 2 atm. What is the volume of the balloon if the pressure is changed to 3 a
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

8L

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided temperature remains constant

P1V1= P2V2

P1 =  2atm, V1 = 12L ,

P2 = 3atm , V2 =

12 × 2 = V2 × 3

Divide both sides by 3

V2 = 24 ÷ 3

V2 = 8L
