The electromagnetic spectrum - light Infrared light: Far IR = 300 m Near IR = 0.7 m Visible light: wavelength = color Red = 0.7 m Violet = 0.4 m Ultraviolet light: Near UV = 0.4 m far UV = 0.00003 m Fig. 2-7, p. 34
Stefan-Boltzmann Law The higher the temperature, the higher is the intensity of the emitted radiation. Intensity = energy per time and area Intensity = 5.6710-8 T4 (joule per second and m2)
Black body radiation balance of a human body? • Skin temperature 35oC • Surface area 2 m2 • Room temperature 20 oC
2900 Wavelength of maximum Radiation = Temperature of object Wien’s Law The higher the temperature of the blackbody, the smaller is the wave length of the emitted radiation.
2900 Wavelength of maximum Radiation = Temperature of object 2900 Wavelength of body Radiation = = 9.4 m 308 Your body’s radiation: • T=35 C = 308 K • Wien’s Law: Infrared light: Far IR = 300 m Near IR = 0.7 m
Infrared light: Far IR = 300 m Near IR = 0.7 m Visible light: wavelength = color Red = 0.7 m Violet = 0.4 m Ultraviolet light: Near UV = 0.4 m far UV = 0.00003 m
Summary of radiation laws (1) All objects emit radiation if their temperature is not absolute zero. (2) Stefan-Boltzmann Law: The higher the temperature, the higher is the intensity of the emitted radiation. (2) Wien’s Law: The higher the temperature, of the blackbody, the smaller is the wave length of the emitted radiation..

Radiation interacting with a surface Sun light 100 % Reflected fraction x Moves away, and does Not change the object Changes the internal energy Of the object (often temperature increase Or phase transition) Absorbed fraction Object: clouds, air, Surface, ocean, … Note: only absorbed radiation changes the temperature of the Object! Transmitted fraction Moves away, may have been modified by the object
Radiation interacting with a surface Albedo: reflectivity of a surface, x High Albedo: Low absorption Low Albedo: high absorption
