CHAPTER 14 Energy in the Atmosphere Section 1, pages 462-465 ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES • Form of energy that can travel through space • Classified according to wavelength • Direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called RADIATION Energy from the sun reaches the Earth in the form of visible light and infrared radiation and a SMALL amount of ultraviolet radiation. • MIXTURE OF ALL COLORS •ROY G BIV • RED AND ORANGE • BLUE AND VIOLET LONGEST WAVELENGTH SHORTER WAVELENGTH INFRARED RADIATION • Energy with wavelengths LONGER than red light • Can be felt as HEAT • Heat lamps in the cafeteria used to keep food warm ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION • Energy with wavelengths SHORTER than violet light • Sunburns, skin cancer and eye damage are caused by this radiation Clouds, gas & dust reflect and scatter light GAS AND PARTICLES ABSORB SOLAR ENERGY Earth’s surface absorbs solar energy Energy reflected back into the atmosphere EARTH’S SURFACE GREENHOUSE EFFECT • Process by which gases hold heat in the air • “Create a blanket” around the earth that holds heat in the atmosphere What are 3 forms of radiation from the sun? ANSWER: VISIBLE LIGHT, INFRARED RADIATION AND ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION How do the 3 forms of radiation from the sun differ? Answer: They differ in their WAVELENGTHS What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed by Earth’s surface? It is changed into HEAT (heating the land or water) WHY IS THE SKY BLUE? Short wavelength blue light is scattered more by gas molecules in the atmosphere WHAT MIGHT CONDITIONS ON EARTH BE LIKE WITHOUT THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT? More infrared radiation back from earth’s surface would escape into space instead of being held in the atmosphere, so the Earth’s surface would be much COLDER! Chapter 14 Lesson 2 Heat Transfer Remember: • Molecules make up solids, liquids, and gases. • Molecules are always moving. • Molecules in a solid move • Molecules in a gas move . . Thermal Energy • Thermal Energy – total energy of motion in the molecules of a substance. (How fast the molecules are moving) • The faster the motion, the more thermal energy. Examples • Ice cube (solid) – very little thermal energy • Lemonade (liquid) – some thermal energy • Steam (gas) – a lot of thermal energy Temperature • Average amount of energy in motion of the molecules • Measures how HOT or COLD a substance is. • HOT = a lot of energy • COLD = very little energy Thermometers • Air temperature – use a thermometer • Thermometers contain liquids - mercury or alcohol. • Liquids expand when heated (causes liquid to rise) and contract when cooled (causes liquid to fall). • In science, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. Freezing and Boiling Points of Water • Freezing Point – 0 C • Boiling Point – 100 C Heat • Heat – the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one. • 3 different ways to transfer heat: radiation, conduction, convection Radiation • Radiation – direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves (can travel through space). • Examples: Sun ray’s warming you up, heat from campfire Conduction • Transfer of heat through DIRECT CONTACT • Energy passed from fast-moving molecules (HOT) to slower-moving molecules (COOLER) • Does not work well in liquids or gases • Examples: Walking barefoot on hot sand Convection • Transfer of heat by movement of a fluid (liquid and gas) • Example: using a hair dryer to blow dry your hair Heating the troposphere • Earth’s surface absorbs solar energy (from sun) and warms up • Air near surface warms (radiation and conduction) • Convection causes most of heating Heat and Density • As molecules heat up, they spread apart (less dense) and rise • Colder air sinks, warmer air rises Less dense More dense Convection Currents • Warm air moves up, and cold air moves down • Movement causes convection currents • Convection currents move heat throughout troposphere Colder Air Warmer Air Heat transfer by radiation Earth’s Surface What type of heat transfer? What type of heat transfer? Answer: Convection (hot water moving) What type of heat transfer? What type of heat transfer? Answer: Radiation – campfire warms you What type of heat transfer?
