Dear sir/madam,
I am confused as how sunlight and radiowaves are produced in terms of radiation.
I am familiar with how Aplha, Beta, Gamma and Xrays are produced. I am to understand that Radio, Gamma, ultraviolet rays and microwaves are all types of radiation.
I was wondering the following -
1. Sunlight (The visible spectrum), how is it produced? Do eletrons move from a higher orbit to a lower orbit? Or do the Neutrons split up into an electron and a proton and the excess energy is given off a radiation - or is that for gamma only?
2. What determines weather it's Ultraviolet, Radio , Microwave or even visble light, is it the the electron orbit jump that determines its type. For example if it jumped from orbit 4 to orbit 1 it may be unltraviolet.
I tried reading up many sites on the net and i have not been able to get the answers.
Thanks is advance.
Yours Respectfully
