Thermal radiation

an element like plutonium or uranium being subjected to extreme pressures until its neutrons split. The splitting then produces a fission of the large atoms to create new and smaller neutrons and atoms as the byproducts of the reaction as well as radiation. The neutrons usually speed up due to heat and splits before striking other uranium/or plutonium atoms so as to create the chain reaction.…

temperature of the water either drops or increases it will induce the coral bleaching. Solar irradiance is known for causing the stress during the summer months and in coral that lives in shallow water. Both photosynthetically active radiation and ultraviolet radiation are known for causing the bleaching. Subaerial exposure causing bleaching by sudden exposure to the reef flat…

Year 10 Physical Chemistry Assignment By Marcus Rivera 1) Combustible Energy a)Combustible energy is energy which relies on fuel to make energy. Combustible energy ignites to produce heat which creates energy, this is our main current state of energy which we use day to day. Some advantages to combustible energy is that if you use it as energy it’s very powerful, it’s very easy to combust and it is an abundant energy source. Some disadvantages of combustible energy is…

The Chernobyl disaster occurred on an early morning on April 26, 1986. The accident caused an entire Ukraine city to be evacuated and abandoned. Do to the explosion, radioactive substances reached an altitude of 1.5 kilometers into the atmosphere. Being a windy day, all of the radioactive substances which formed a cloud were drifted above Scandinavia. The cloud then came back above the Ukraine. Research today shows us that radioactive clouds from the accident have made their way across the…

layer of warm air between its thick insulating fur, which goes as far as covering the fox’s feet and skin. This heat maintained around the body is prevented from escaping through thermal radiation by the adaptation of white fur, as seen on other Arctic mammals. The white fur minimizes heat loss by reflecting any radiation escaping into the outside air back towards the body, thus preventing the decrease in the Arctic Fox’s core body temperature. The fur of the Arctic Fox is further adapted, as it…

considerable controversy about the likely size of the increase. As explained in the next section, this controversy arises mainly due to uncertainties about the contributions to expect from the three main processes responsible for sea level rise: thermal expansion, the melting of glaciers and ice caps, and the loss of ice from the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. Before describing the major factors contributing to climate change, it should be understood that the melting back of sea ice (e…

out so will the nuclear energy production. Another problem is the fact that nuclear energy produces radiation as a byproduct. Now, this radiation is often contained and never allowed near human populations. But, then again accidents do happen. Radiation is a very harmful because if an unstable atom hits a person’s cell the wrong way, the cell could become mutated resulting in cancer, or the radiation could burn skin, or even cause necrosis of a cell. This is especially harmful when millions of…

just below 100 degrees Celsius, issues such as heat transfer limit the appreciation of the beverage. The thermal energy in tea is defined by the movement or kinetic energy of the particles within the tea, hence, a decrease in the movement of the particles reduces the temperature. The thermal energy in the tea is lowered via means of energy transfer through convection, conduction, radiation and evaporation. Convection is a result of convection currents which carry the dense tea down, pushing…

coral reef and sea floor were ejected. A large amount of it was pulled up into the mushroom cloud becoming radioactive and creating fallout. Small amounts of radioactive dust or particles are harmless but many billions of these particles can cause radiation sickness and even death. As the mushroom cloud gets higher the winds get stronger and carry the fallout away from the blast site like radioactive seeds. This materials can be pulled up into the upper atmosphere and be carried away for…
