Wavelength of solar enery near sun&its wavelength when it reaches earth?
Question:
Answer:
I'm not sure I know what your question is, but here's a stab: as the light of the sun rises out of its gravity well, it will red-shift slightly due to the loss of energy as it gains gravitational potential. The wavelengths will, therefore, increase slightly by the time it reaches Earth.
Does that even come close?
All the wavelengths.
* hard X-rays (1-10 Angstroms) ionizes the D region,
* soft X-rays (10-100 Angstroms) ionizes the E region,
* ultraviolet light (100-1000 Angstroms) ionizes the F region.
In eight minuets at similar relative speeds I would expect them to be almost identical, though depending on if we are moving away from (longer) or towards (shorter) the Sun I guess they would change length. Then there would be the effect of the sun's gravity. OK, I'm going to guess, Shorter near the sun and longer when it reaches earth.
Fun question!
