Which is an accurate statement about the different types of radiation that are measured in a total solar irradiance select the two correct answers

Radiation with short wavelength is emitted steadily and constantly from the Sun radiation in the short extreme ultraviolet range is most likely to have the widest variation radiation with long infrared wavelength is most likely to have the widest variation radiation and divisible light wavelength is emitted steadily and constantly from the Sun

1 answer

The correct statements regarding the types of radiation measured in total solar irradiance are:

  1. Radiation with short wavelength is emitted steadily and constantly from the Sun. - This is accurate for certain wavelengths, particularly those in the visible spectrum and beyond, which are emitted more consistently.

  2. Radiation in the short extreme ultraviolet range is most likely to have the widest variation. - This is true as the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation can fluctuate significantly due to solar activities such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections.

The other options regarding long infrared wavelengths and divisibility of light are not accurate in this context.
