May 17, 2024 · infrared radiation, that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that extends from the long wavelength, or red, end of the visible-light range to the microwave range. Invisible to the eye, it can be detected as a sensation of warmth on the skin.

2 days ago · The outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) emitted by the Earth’s surface and atmosphere is a critical component of the planet’s energy budget and plays a crucial role in the climate system. Understanding the vertical distribution of OLR is essential for developing accurate climate models and improving our understanding of atmospheric processes.
6 days ago · Ultraviolet ( UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays. UV radiation is present in sunlight, and constitutes about 10% of the total electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun. It is also produced by electric arcs, Cherenkov radiation, and ...
May 14, 2024 · In 1905 German physicist Albert Einstein had proposed that electromagnetic radiation is granular, consisting of quanta (later called photons) each with an energy hf, where h is Planck’s constant (about 6.6 × 10 −34 joule∙second) and f is the frequency of the radiation.
1 day ago · Scientists have just identified the formation processes of some of the Universe's earliest galaxies in the turbulent era of the Cosmic Dawn.. JWST observations of the early Universe around 13.3 to 13.4 billion years ago – just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang – have revealed telltale signs of gas reservoirs being actively slurped into three newly forming and growing galaxies.
May 14, 2024 · Wavelength, distance between corresponding points of two consecutive waves. “Corresponding points” refers to two points or particles in the same phase—i.e., points that have completed identical fractions of their periodic motion.
