What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?
Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.
The percentage of Shortwave radiant energy scattered upward by a surface is termed its?
outflow
What are the Other kind of forms of radiant energy?
Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. The quantity of radiant energy may be calculated by integrating radiant flux (or power) with respect to time and, like all forms of energy, its SI unit is the joule. The term is used particularly when radiation is emitted by a source into the surrounding environment. Radiant energy may be visible or invisible to the human eye. The term "radiant energy" is most commonly used in the fields of radiometry, solar energy, heating and lighting, but is also sometimes used in other fields (such as telecommunications). In modern applications involving transmission of power from one location to another, "radiant energy" is sometimes used to refer to the electromagnetic waves themselves, rather than their energy (a property of the waves). In the past, the term "electro-radiant energy" has also been used. Historically, the propagation of electromagnetic radiation was presumed to rely on a medium filling all space, known as the aether. Electromagnetic waves were presumed to propagate through this medium by inducing transverse electric and magnetic stresses and strains, analogous to those induced by shear waves propagating through a physical medium. In modern times, the propagation of electromagnetic waves has been shown not to require any physical medium, although some interpretations of general relativity can be viewed as implying that space acts as a kind of non-physical "medium" for light.
Is the pupil of your eye an emitter of radiant energy or an absorber of radiant energy?
The pupil does not absorb anything, it transmits light energy to the retina at the back of they eye, the retina does the absorbing. It certainly does not emit anything either, though aliens in scifi films can have glowing eyes! Some animals like cats have reflective eyes, but they are not emitting light, only reflecting incident light.
What is the scientific term for light energy?
Light is the visible spectrum of electromagnetic energy.
What causes the emission of radiant energy?
What causes the emission of radiant energy?Well radiant energy's definition is the movement of photons. So in conclusion i would say kinetic energy cause radiant energy.
Which type of energy causes sun burn?
Radiant energy, or electromagnetic energy.
What is the difference Between Light energy and Radiant Energy?
Light is light. Radiant is Radiant.
Is radiant energy sustainable?
Radiant energy is sustainable because we can handle it ex.we can handle the light from radiant energy.
The pupil of your eye is a net absorber of radiant energy a net emitter of radiant energy neither a net absorber or emitter of radiant energy?
A net absorber of radiant energy.
Form of energy also known as light energy?
radiant energy
How does radiant energy move?
radiant energy move by waves
What is the energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is called?
Radiant Energy
Does radiant energy come from the sun?
Yes, the sun is a source of radiant energy. The light the sun produces is radiant energy.
What do radiant energy decreases or increases with?
The radiant energy increases as the frequency increase and the radiant energy decreases as the frequency decreases.
How do you convert thermal energy into radiant energy?
i think you can not convert thermal energy into radiant energy
What causes thymine dimers?
Excessive heat. When cells are exposed to sunlight, radiant energy can damage DNA.
