Question : 1
Consider the following statements

- The Earth re-radiates the Sun’s heat as ultraviolet energy.
a) Both 1 and 2
b) Neither 1 nor 2
c) 2 only

Answer »Answer: (b)
The sun radiates vast quantities of energy into space, across a wide spectrum of wavelengths. Most of the radiant energy from the sun is concentrated in the visible and near-visible parts of the spectrum.
The narrow band of visible light, between 400 and 700 nm, represents 43% of the total radiant energy emitted. Wavelengths shorter than the visible account for 7 to 8% of the total, but are extremely important because of their high energy per photon. The shorter the wavelength of light, the more energy it contains.
