Answer:
Shortwave radiation in = infrared radiation out
Explanation:
The Sun is extremely hot, so it gives off high-energy radiation.
Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength,
E ∝ 1/λ
Thus, most of the radiation from the Sun has a short wavelength ranging from about 0.2 µm to 1.5 µm (ultraviolet and visible light).
The Earth, in contrast is quite cool, so its radiation has a longer wavelength ranging from 5 µm to 20 µm (infrared radiation).
Options A, C, and E are wrong. Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released when a substance changes state.
