Sentences with phrase «to absorb photons»

If you double the GHG molecules (double the concentration) each molecule will be having it easy for it is working half as hard absorbing photons.

These panels are made up of photovoltaic cells, which absorb the photons from sunlight and energize electrons in the cell's material, creating electricity.

By absorbing a photon of light, photosensitive molecules can reposition chemical bonds and thus create a «kink» in the polymer chain.

A dye, developed in the colour chemistry department at the University of Leeds, is added which absorbs photons of laser light and converts the energy into heat.

The crucial step is making the atoms absorb photons preferentially from the forward direction and is achieved by utilizing the Doppler shift.

You're correct about absorption: A molecule in the atmosphere can only absorb a photon only if the energy of the photon corresponds to the difference between the energy of two allowable states of the molecule (the transition from one energy state to another corresponds to the release or capture of an amount of energy h * v).

If the bond of a GHG absorbs a photon of long wave radiation, how long does it hang on to it?

& why does ALL the feedback water vapor always absorb a photon to cause warming?

Alternatively, if the CO2 does absorb the extra energy up to its saturation limit & then transmits it to the air by molecular collisions to achieve global warming, then there is no limitation on the CO2 absorbing another photon, ad infinitum - which is obviously absurd.

This sends the crystal into a quantum superposition, in which many thulium ions absorb the photon at once and vibrate at different frequencies.

Generally, the bigger the chunk of crystal, the greater the chance that one of its atoms will absorb a photon streaking through the material.

TiO2 absorbs photons, which excite electrical charges in the catalyst.

Both materials absorb photons, so when light is shined on the microparticle, the stem generates negative hydroxide charges and the bristles produce positive hydrogen ions.

Under full sunlight, the energy from excess absorbed photons is intentionally dissipated by the plant as heat.

To minimize the scattering force, the light must be tuned well below the frequency at which the atoms readily absorb photons.

When S3 absorbs a photon, molecular oxygen (O2) is released and S0 is generated.

Molecules are constanlty absorbing photons, then radiating the photons out in fractions of a second.

If a cold greenhouse gas absorbs a photon emitted from the ground, and emits at a lower intensity, where does the rest of the energy go?

Photovoltaic cells, which absorb photons from sunlight and convert them to electricity, operate with only 20 percent efficiency.

Peering through a viewport, I watch as a blob of atoms absorbs photons of laser light and re-emits them at slightly higher energies, losing a bit of heat each time.

According to quantum mechanics, an atom can only absorb a photon of particular energies and colors as the electron within the atom hops from a lower energy state to a higher energy state.

Crystal quantum memory devices hoard data by absorbing photons, each of which carry one quantum bit, or qubit, of data.

The young chemist did not know why the resulting color was so vivid; the ability of molecules to absorb photons at specific wavelengths based on the structure of their shared electron bonds would not be worked out for another fifty years.
