Long wavelength radiation refers to infrared radiation. Long wavelength radiation is generally created on earth and is then transferred to space in the form of low energy.
Thus, long wavelength radiation is created on the surface of the earth, clouds and the atmosphere. Up to 99% of the long-wave radiation lies in the wavelength range from 4 to 40 microns (μm). Water vapor, ozone, carbon dioxide are amongst the chief sources of creation.
It is through release of long wavelength radiation into space that the earth loses its heat and maintains its temperature balance.
