Solution

Sure, here are the answers to your questions:

  1. The potential energy of the particles which make up the object decreases. When the temperature of an object increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, not the potential energy.

  2. The correct conversion of 1054 nm to meters is 1.054 × 10-6 m.

  3. When an object emits energy faster than it absorbs energy, its temperature decreases. This is because it is losing more energy than it is gaining.

  4. The incorrect statement is: The intensity of the radiation which we receive from the Sun can be measured in joules per second per square metre. The correct unit for measuring intensity is watts per square meter (W/m²), not joules per second per square meter.

  5. The incorrect statement is: All of the infrared radiation from the Sun which reaches the surface of the Earth is absorbed. Not all infrared radiation is absorbed; some is reflected back into space.
