1 Refer to Figure 4 2 below Which electromagnetic wave example represents a shorter wavelength Example 1 Example 2 www Figure 4 2 Two Electromagnetic Waves In this part of the lab we will focus on the forms of energy emitted by the Sun There are several forms of electromagnetic radiation in the Universe Figure 4 3 All objects with temperatures above absolute zero 273 15 degrees Celsius 459 67 degrees Fahrenheit radiate energy proportional to its temperature The Sun emits radiation at all wavelengths but 99 of the energy received at the Earth is in the infrared visible light or ultraviolet parts of the electromagnetic spectrum Of this radiation received by our planet 48 is infrared radiation 44 is visible light radiation and 7 is ultraviolet radiation Note that infrared radiation is sometimes called longwave radiation or thermal radiation and ultraviolet radiation is sometimes called shortwave radiation or UV radiation
