Sound waves are mechanical waves, not electromagnetic waves.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency is given by the equation (c = \lambda f), where (c) is the speed of light, (\lambda) is the wavelength, and (f) is the frequency.

Absorption is the process by which electromagnetic radiation is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that absorbs infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface, leading to an increase in atmospheric temperature.

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water.

The rate of heat transfer by conduction is given by the equation (Q = kA\Delta T), where (Q) is the heat transfer rate, (k) is the thermal conductivity of the material, (A) is the area of the conducting surface, and (\Delta T) is the temperature gradient.

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

The Stefan-Boltzmann law is given by the equation (E = \sigma T^4), where (E) is the total energy radiated, (\sigma) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and (T) is the absolute temperature.

The albedo of a surface is a measure of its reflectivity, and is calculated as the ratio of reflected radiation to incident radiation.

The primary mechanism for the transfer of heat from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere is radiation, in the form of infrared radiation.

The lapse rate is the rate of decrease of temperature, pressure, and density with altitude in the atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that helps to regulate the Earth's temperature, climate, and atmosphere.

The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.

The increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere is primarily due to both human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, and natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions.

The primary environmental impact of the greenhouse effect is global warming, climate change, and sea level rise.
