Answer #1

The radiation coming from the sun consists of short as well as long wavelength radiation.our air medium (consists of green house gases) is transparent to the short and visible wavelength radiation but not long wavelength radiations

Thus short wavelength radiation can easily pass through the atmosphere and reflected from the earth surface and turns into long wavelength this can't pass through the atmosphere and get absorbed.thus the temparetute of our atmosphere increases.

A current is detected in a photoelectric-effect experiment when the cathode is illuminated with green light. Part A Will a current necessarily be detected if the cathode is illuminated with blue light? Select the correct answer and explanation. (1)Photons of blue light have less energy than photons of green light. Therefore, if there is a current in a photoelectric-effect apparatus with green light, then there could be no current with blue light. (2)Photons of blue light have less energy than...
