Question

solar radiation is made up of light energy. light energy can be separated by wavelength and frequency into the electromagnetic spectrum. which type of light energy found in solar radiation is most likely to reach earths surface?
a. radio waves
b. gamma rays
c. microwaves
d. visible light

Explanation:

The Earth's atmosphere is largely transparent to visible - light. Radio waves from the Sun are weak in solar radiation reaching Earth. Gamma rays are highly energetic and mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. Microwaves also do not make up the major part of solar radiation reaching the surface. Visible light is the most common type of light energy in solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface.

Answer:

D. visible light
