Question

There is more energy in the visible part of the solar spectrum relative to the IR part of the spectrum .
True or False

Answer 1

False. There is actually more energy in IR part of the spectrum than the visible part of solar spectrum

Energy in the visible part of solar spectrum - 41 % spectrum energy

Energy in the IR part of solar spectrum - 53 % spectrum energy

Hence, IR has more energy than visible part of solar spectrum.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The statement  is false

IR or Infrared rays have more energy than the visible part of the spectrum. The energy in the visible part of the spectrum is 41% whereas when we take into consideration the IR part of the spectrum, then it has the 53% spectrum energy. This makes it evident that IR has more energy spectrum than visible part.
