Infrared rays

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the trapping of heat within the Earth's atmosphere. Solar radiation reaches the Earth,and the surface absorbs this energy,re-emitting it as thermal radiation. Greenhouse gases (such as $CO_2$,$CH_4$,and water vapor) absorb this outgoing thermal radiation,which corresponds to the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore,infrared rays are responsible for the greenhouse effect.

List-$I$ ($EM$ Wave)	List-$II$ (Wavelength Range)
$(A)$ Infrared	$(i)$ $ < 10^{-3} \, nm$
$(B)$ Ultraviolet	$(ii)$ $400 \, nm$ to $1 \, nm$
$(C)$ $X$-rays	$(iii)$ $1 \, mm$ to $700 \, nm$
$(D)$ Gamma rays	$(iv)$ $1 \, nm$ to $10^{-3} \, nm$

Which of the following is responsible for the greenhouse effect?
