Question

which of the following types of energy are absorbed by greenhouse gases?
correct answer(s)
drag appropriate answer(s) here
infrared radiation
green energy
solar radiation
entropy
water vapor

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases, such as \(CO_2\), absorb infrared radiation. This is a key part of the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation is mainly visible - light and shorter - wavelength radiation, and greenhouse gases do not absorb solar radiation in a significant way that contributes to the greenhouse effect (they are transparent to most solar radiation). Green energy is a general term for renewable energy sources and is not an energy type absorbed by greenhouse gases. Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity related to disorder and is not an energy type absorbed by greenhouse gases. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas itself, not an energy type that is absorbed (in the context of the question about energy absorption by greenhouse gases).

Answer:

infrared radiation
