    atmospheric infrared radiation absorbed by the surface. Energy losses: Infrared radiation emitted by the surface and the loss of energy through convection and latent heat. (i) For the GMST to be in a steady state would require the energy gain of the earth’s surface to be equal with the energy loss from the earth’s surface. (ii) For the GMST to rise would require the energy loss of the surface to be greater than the energy gain and also if the atmosphere is more absorbing to infrared radiation…

    Foods are exposed to a specific dose of radiation which does not make the foods radioactive. There have been no sign of toxicology or safety issues by irradiating food products. Currently the Food and Drug Administration regulates food irradiation. Types of radiation, duration of exposure and dosage are highly regulated. Any foods that have been irradiated must contain the irradiation symbol on the package. When molecules absorb ionizing energy, they become reactive and form ions or free…

Visible light- (at low to moderate intensities) does not carry enough energy to damage biological molecules Infrared Radiation- (IR) the heat felt when you place your hand near a hot object. All warm bodies emit infrared light Microwaves- wavelength which is longer than that of infrared light and therefore has less energy Efficiently absorbed by water → can heat substances which contain water Used for radars and microwave ovens Radio…
