Model: Using arrows and vector lines, model each of the types of light emitted by the sun. Use the image above to help you model the Grow Bulb light emission model.
Question 4
4.
Describe how X-rays interacts with the Earth’s atmosphere.
X-rays are absorbed preventing them from reaching earth’s surface
X-rays are transmitted allowing them to reach earth’s surface.
X-rays are reflected allowing them to reach earth’s surface.
Describe how Visible light interacts with the Earth’s atmosphere.
Visible light is absorbed preventing them from reaching earth’s surface.
Visible light is transmitted allowing them to reach earth’s surface.
Visible light is reflected allowing them to reach earth’s surface.
Describe the difference between Sunlight and light from the Grow Bulb and its impact on genetic material.
Light from the sun and light from a light bulb are different. Light from the sun has ultraviolet light in it at greater amplitudes than Grow Bulb meaning it causes different changes to the genetic material.
Light from the sun and light from a light bulb are different. Light from the sun has ultraviolet light in it and light from a light bulb does not. Genetic material absorbs ultraviolet light and this causes damage to the genetic material.
Light from the sun and light from a light bulb are different. Light from the sun has ultraviolet light in it at greater wavelengths than Grow Bulb meaning it causes greater and more intense damage to the genetic material.
