Explain what happens to the incoming solar radiation after it is reflected off the surface of the earth (include what happens to wavelength).

The answer is; The reflected light, has a longer wavelength and lower frequency

When sunlight hit the earth's surface and becomes reflected back, some of the energy is lost in the process. This is analogous to bouncing a ball off the ground, it loses some of the energy and does not bounce to the equivalent height it dropped from.

they may bind directly to special “promoter” regions of dna, which lie upstream of the coding region in a gene, or directly to the rna polymerase molecule.
