The wavelengths at which electromagnetic radiations are partially or wholly transmitted through atmosphere are known as: Correct Answer Atmospheric windows

Concept:

Atmospheric windows:

  • Electromagnetic radiation refers to the waves of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. All of these waves form part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • Electromagnetic radiation is reflected or absorbed mainly by several gases in the Earth's atmosphere, among the most important being water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone.
  • Some radiation, such as visible light, largely passes (is transmitted) through the atmosphere. These regions of the spectrum with wavelengths that can pass through the atmosphere are referred to as "atmospheric windows."

The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse because some of the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere to reach the moon. As the white light breaks up while passing through the atmosphere, most of its blue-colored wavelengths are absorbed and scattered. The remaining red wavelengths light up the moon in blood-red color. Which of the following statements do not support the assertion of the above-given statement? I: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the white light breaks up due to the Earth's atmosphere where most of its red-colored wavelengths are absorbed. II: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the earth blocks the white light to travel to the moon.
