Question

There is more energy in the visible part of the solar spectrum relative to the IR part of the spectrum​

Answer 1

False.

• There is in reality more energy in an IR part of the range than the visible part of sun oriented spectrum .  
• Energy in the VIS part of sun powered spectrum - 41 % range energy .
• Energy in the InfraRed part of sun oriented spectrum - 53 % range energy .  
• Consequently, IR has more energy than VIS part of sunlight oriented spectrum .

Answer 2

"There is more energy in the visible part of the solar spectrum relative to the IR part of the spectrum

Ans: The statement given above is true.

Explanation: Energy is directly proportional to frequency whereas, Frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Hence the wavelength of the infrared is more than that of the visible spectrum.

Hence the statement is true. Hence there is more energy in the visible part of the solar spectrum relative to the Infrared part of the Spectrum.
