Question

Suppose that a CO2 molecule in the atmosphere absorbs a photon of electromagnetic radiation. Because the photon carried energy and energy cannot be created or destroyed, the energy that the photon carried must now be present in some form in the CO2 molecule. In fact, at the moment the photon was absorbed, the CO2 molecule began to _______
Based on this, we can conclude that the photon absorbed was a photon of _________radiation.

a. visible
b. infrared
c. x-ray
d. gamma ray
e. radio
f. ultraviolet
g. microwave

Answer 1

Answer:

a. visible

d. Gamma ray

Explanation:

Gamma rays is the radiations that arise by atomic decay. The molecules for electro magnet waves which are then converted into gamma rays. The energy that is created by molecules cannot be destroyed. It is absorbed by protons and then CO2 molecule become visible.
