Sentences with phrase «infrared photons emitted»

One thing they don't mention — I understand the wavelength of the infrared photons emitted varies with the temperature of the CO2 molecules — CO2 radiating infrared from a higher colder altitude is radiating slightly lower - energy longer - wavelength photons, right?

Not exact matches

A team led by Prof. Laszlo Veisz has developed a novel high - power laser capable of emitting bursts of infrared light — each consisting of only a few oscillation cycles — which contain 100 times as many photons per pulse as in conventional systems.

Vibrational modes in molecules with three or more atoms (H2O, CO2, O3, N2O, CH4, CFCs, HFCs...) include bending motions that are easier to excite and so will absorb and emit lower energy photons which co-incide with the infrared radiation that the Earth emits.

Remember that CO2 molecule that intercepted an infrared photon and twanged and started wiggling, then emitted another infrared photon in any old random direction.

Warm surfaces emit infrared (IR) photons.

What CO2 does do is it absorbs and then 100 attoseconds later, emits Infrared photons, or radiant heat.
