  • 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.

Since all atoms have negatively charged electrons, shouldn’t every sample of matter have a negative charge ? Explain
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The three sub-atomic particles that made up an atom are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and neutron are present in the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus in the orbits. The atoms are electrically neutral that is they have no charge due to the presence of equal number of protons (which is positively charged) and electrons (which is negatively charged).

All the atoms have negatively charged electrons which are counter balanced by the presence of equal number of protons in the nucleus of an atom and thus, the element is neutral in nature and possess no charge.

In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the p
Flura [38]

Answer:1.

Explanation: This reaction is catalyzes by pyruvate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate being the end product of glycolysis has many fates after glycolysis,one of which is to enter the TCA(Tricarboxylic acid cycle) cycle. It is first converted to actetate by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase. This enzyme converts pyruvate to acetate releasing CO2 and NADH because this oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is coupled with reduction of NAD+ which can feed into the electron transport chain.
