Summary Introduction
Whether the radiations that are emitted by the surface of Earth possess shorter or longer wavelengths as compared to the radiations of solar energy with reference to the figure given in the textbook.
Introduction:
The wavelength of a particular object depends on one or more specific factors. The wavelength of radiation depends on the objects' temperature. The cooler object will emit the radiations of longer wavelength.
