(e) (i) infra red radiation radiated from Earth will be absorbed by
greenhouse gases;
and so increase the temperature of the atmosphere / Earth; 2
(ii) the natural frequency of oscillation (of a methane molecule)

is equal to 9.1 × 10 Hz;
because of resonance the molecule will readily absorb radiation
of this frequency; 2
