Electromagnetic induction and greenhouse: what they have in common
- Step 1. Electromagnetic induction — evolved into — Electromagnetic waves. Maxwell’s equations, which generalized induction, predicted electromagnetic waves.
- Step 2. Electromagnetic waves — includes — Infrared radiation. Infrared is electromagnetic waves a little longer than red light; we feel it as warmth.
- Step 3. Infrared radiation — is used in — Greenhouse effect. Infrared radiation is trapped.
- Step 4. Greenhouse effect — is used in — Greenhouse. Glass lets light in and holds heat.
