Directions: 1. Click on the link to access the simulation: Molecules & Light Simulator 2. Using the simulator select a molecule (start with CO2). 3. Choose an EM radiation spectrum (i.e., select Microwave, infrared, visible, or ultraviolet option as desired). 4. Move the slider on the lamp to start the flow of photons with energy (and wavelength) corresponding to the chosen spectrum. Using the Molecules and light simulator above, answer the following questions: 1. Fill out the table below (3 pts). Write “yes” or “no” to indicate whether a molecule interacts with photons of the selected EM radiation spectrum. A molecule is considered to have interacted with photons of the selected EM radiation, if it absorbs the incident radiation and gets excited. Note that, as the molecule returns to its original state, it re-emits radiation in all directions. 2. R e c a l l the wavelength range corresponding to Earth’s radiative emission. Which of the above molecules interacts with Earth’s EM radiation? What do we call this group of gasses? Infrared rays are the ones produced by Earth's radiative emission. The molecules that interact are CO2, CO, H2O, NO2, O3. We call this group of gasses greenhouse gasses. 3. In the applet, select CO2 molecule and infrared wavelength spectrum. As CO2 absorbs infrared radiation and remits radiation, can you see that some of the radiation is directed back towards the lamp? Describe how this is like what happens between Earth’s surface and its atmosphere with CO2 molecules. Some of the radiation of the CO2 spectrum is directed back towards the lamp due to the possible re-radiation of Infrared radiations from the earth’s surface some of which is directed towards the earth’s surface. Molecule UV Visible IR Microwave CO no no yes yes N2 no no no no O2 no no no no CO2 no no yes no H2O no no yes yes NO2 no yes yes yes O3 no no yes yes
4. Which of the above molecules interacts most significantly with microwaves? How is this knowledge used in everyday cooking? The molecule that interacts most significantly with microwaves is H2O. This helps in the making of microwave cooking methods. Cooking involves addition of water which absorbs the microwaves heating up the surrounding food. 5. Does ozone interact with solar radiation? In what wavelength range? How is this interaction important for life on Earth? Yes, ozone interacts with solar radiation wavelengths of about 350 nm and below. The ozone layer shields us from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation, which can lead to sunburn, skin cancer and eye damage. Greenhouse Gases and Earth's Temperature Directions : 1. Click on Greenhouse Gases Simulation 2. Once you open the file, slide the “Greenhouse Gas Concentration” option to “none.” 3. Note the temperature on the thermometer. 4. Vary the greenhouse gas concentrations by selecting different time period options (by selecting options under “Atmosphere during”). 5. Note the temperatures and CO2 concentrations for the different settings. 6. Lastly, slide the “Greenhouse Gas Concentration” option to “Lots”. Using the greenhouse gasses and Earth's temperature applet, answer the following questions: 1. What do the yellow stars represent? What primary wavelengths do the yellow stars correspond to? Yellow stars represent the photons that get the surface from the sun. They correspond to the visible wavelengths as the primary wavelengths. 2. What do the red stars represent? What wavelength do the red stars correspond to? The red stars represent the photons emitted by the earth. They correspond to the wavelengths of the infrared rays. 3. Under “Atmosphere during …” click on “Ice age”. Observe the motion of yellow photons. In what direction(s) (up or down) do they travel? The photons move in direction from up heading downwards. 4. Under “Atmosphere during …” click on “1710”. Observe the motion of red photons. In what direction(s) (up or down) do they travel? The photons go in the direction from up downwards. 5. Complete the table below (3 pts) making sure that the Greenhouse Gas Concentration is half-way between none and lots.
