Energy in the Earths Atmosphere

• What is infrared radiation?
• A form of energy with wavelengths that are longer
  than red light.
• What is ultraviolet radiation?
• A form of energy with wavelengths that are
  shorter than violet light

3
Energy in the Earths Atmosphere

• What are Electromagnetic Waves?
• A form of energy that can travel through space.
• What is Radiation?
• The direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic
  waves

Energy in the Earths Atmosphere

• What is the greenhouse effect?
• The process by which gases hold heat in the air.
• What happens when the earths surface is heated?
• It radiates some of the energy back into the
  atmosphere as infrared radiation.

HOME
5
Energy in the Earths Atmosphere

• What is scattering?
• -Reflection of light in all directions.
• How does it affect the skys color?
• The light in the sky has been scattered by gas
  molecules. Gas molecules scatter short
  wavelengths of visible light like blue and violet.

6
Energy in the Earths Atmosphere

• What happens to most of the infrared radiation?
• Much of it is absorbed by water vapor, carbon
  dioxide, methane and other gases in the air.
• Which color of visible light has the longest
  wavelengths?
• Red light has the longest wavelengths.

  one end that contains a liquid, usually mercury
  or colored alcohol.
• Thermometer
• The direct transfer of heat from one substance to
  another that is touching is called ___________.
• Conduction

HOME
9
Heat Transfer

Heat Transfer

• The energy transferred from a hotter object to a
  cooler one is referred to as________.
• Heat.
• The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid
  is called ________.
• Convection

HOME
12
Heat Transfer

• How is air temperature measured?
• It is usually measured with a thermometer.
• How is heat transferred?
• It is transferred in three ways Radiation,
  Conduction, Convection

HOME
13
Heat Transfer

• Give one example each of radiation, conduction
  convection in your daily life.
• Heat radiating from a campfire, heat being
  conducted through the bottom of a metal pot on a
  stove, and heat flowing in convection currents
  through a house heated furnace.
