Which radiation in sunlight, causes heating effect?

A

visible light

B

ultraviolet

C

infrared

D

all of these

Answer

infrared

Explanation

Solution

As the wavelength of infrared radiation extends from 8000×1010m8000\times {{10}^{-10}}m to 400000×1010m.400000\times {{10}^{-10}}m. These radiations have longer wavelength and these can penetrate deeply into materials, causing heating effect.
