Which of the following describes the relationship between the wavelength and strength of the Sun's radiation?
a.The shorter the radiation's wavelength the weaker the radiation's energy
b.The shorter the radiation's wavelength, the higher the radiation's energy
c.The longer the radiation's wavelength, the weaker the radiation's energy
d.The longer the radiation's wavelength, the higher the radiation's energy

Respuesta :

Correct answer: B). The shorter the radiation's wavelength, the higher the radiation's energy  

The wavelength and radiant energy are inversely proportional to each other. The greater amount of energy is released by the radiation that has a higher frequency and it has a shorter wavelength. The higher the frequency of radiation the shorter will be its wavelength.

According to this relationship, the shorter wavelength has higher energy as compared to a higher wavelength.
