Sentences with phrase «called infrared radiation»

The rest reaches the planet's surface and is reflected upward again as a type of slow - moving energy called infrared radiation.

Not exact matches

The new material, made from a common plastic called polyethylene, is a thin ply riddled with nano - sized holes that allow the release of infrared radiation, water vapor (that is, sweat), and air.

Reisz says his team's methods, called Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (SR - FTIR), can probe the chemical makeup of a sample without the need to purify it first, which lowers the risk of contamination.

In 1983, an orbiting satellite called IRAS discovered far more infrared radiation — which has waves longer than red light — coming from the Vega than expected for small interstellar dust grains found around young, early - type stars (Harvey et al, 1984).

Radiation emitted from Earth is called longwave radiation; it falls within the infrared portion of the spectrum and has typical wavelengths of 4 to 30 micrometres (0.0002 to 0.001 inch).

Thermal imaging allows heat levels to be detected by measuring infrared radiation, producing images of that radiation called thermograms.

The sun, which is quite hot (about 5800K), emits most of its energy at between 0.2 microns and 4 microns (solar or short wave radiation, or plain sunlight), while the Earth's surface emits the most energy at wavelengths between 5 and 50 microns (the so - called thermal Infrared region of the spectrum).

It is proposed by Realclimate that the extra down welling infrared radiation warms up that top single millimetre layer (they call it the ocean «skin») a tiny bit and apparently that is enough to disrupt the worldwide flow of heat energy from ocean to air to space with the result that the oceans release incoming solar energy more slowly so that heat builds up in the oceans.

«The trapping of thermal infrared radiation by atmospheric gases is typical of the atmosphere and is therefore called the atmospheric effect.

They know that the heat we get from the Sun is the Sun's thermal energy radiated to us in thermal infrared, it's called HEAT transfer by radiation, and you've taken that out of your Greenhouse Effect energy budget..

What many call thermal infrared: thermal infrared Infrared radiation which has a wavelength between 3.0 μm andinfrared: thermal infrared Infrared radiation which has a wavelength between 3.0 μm andinfrared Infrared radiation which has a wavelength between 3.0 μm andInfrared radiation which has a wavelength between 3.0 μm and 100 μm.

Here is where Myrrh seems to be making his big mistake: in the Nasa link he gives, is the following quote: «Incoming ultraviolet, visible, and a limited portion of infrared energy (together sometimes called «shortwave radiation»)»

These so - called greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation, emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere and clouds, except in a transparent part of the spectrum called the «atmospheric window», as shown in Figure 1.2.

This so - called back radiation has been physically measured many times by infrared spectrometers looking up from the surface and down from above.

The violet curve (above right) shows that, assuming a mean temperature of 255 K, Earth System radiation to Space is in a squat, wide «longwave» range, from about 5μm to beyond 40μm, which we call mid - and far - infrared.

The yellow curve (above left) shows that Solar radiation is in a tall, narrow «shortwave» range, from about 0.1 μm (microns, or millionths of a meter) to about 4μm, which we call ultra-violet, visual, and near - infrared.

Claude Pouillet had just discovered what would later be called «sky radiation,» «back radiation» or (the preferred version) «downwelling infrared radiation» — often «DLR,» or «DLW.»

This downward flow takes place, not in the shorter wavelengths that characterize visible light, but in the longer ones that we call «infrared radiation,» and that used to be termed «radiant heat.»
