valkas [14]3 years ago

The basic relationship between frequency and wavelength for light (which is an electromagnetic wave) is
c= f \lambda
where c is the speed of light, f the frequency and \lambda the wavelength of the wave. 
Using \lambda=4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m and c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, we can find the value of the frequency:
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m}=6.7 \cdot 10^{14} Hz

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]
The technical definition of latitude is the angular distance north or south from the earth's equator measured through 90 degrees. ... Locations at lower latitudes receive stronger and more direct sunlight than locations near the poles. Energy input from the sun is the main driving force in the atmosphere.



The Seasons at Different Latitudes
The seasonal effects are different at different latitudes on Earth. Near the equator, for instance, all seasons are much the same. Every day of the year, the Sun is up half the time, so there are approximately 12 hours of sunshine and 12 hours of night.



When we consider Latitude alone as a control, we know that the low latitudes (say from the Equator to approximately 30 degrees N/S) are the warmest across the year (on an annual basis).
