Does solar radiation encompass a complete spectrum
Does solar radiation encompass a complete spectrum of all the forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Expert
Yes it definitely does. It comprises all the forms of radiation; however 99% of its energy is taken by radiation with wavelengths among 278 and 4600 nm, with the utmost at 472 nm.
Planck radiation law: The law which explained blackbody radiation better than its precursor, therefore resolving the ultraviolet catastrophe. This is based on the supposition that electromagnetic radiation is quantized. Q : Brownian motion Brownian motion - The Brownian motion - The continuous random motion of a solid microscopic particle whenever suspended in a fluid medium due to the effect of ongoing bombardment by molecules and atoms.
Brownian motion - The continuous random motion of a solid microscopic particle whenever suspended in a fluid medium due to the effect of ongoing bombardment by molecules and atoms.
Spin-orbit effect: The effect that causes atomic energy levels to be split since electrons contain intrinsic angular momentum (that is spin) in summation to their extrinsic orbital angular momentum.
Boyle's law (R. Boyle; 1662); Mariotte's law (E. Mariotte; 1676) - The product result of the volume and pressure of an ideal gas at constant (steady) temperature is constant.
Permeability of free space: magnetic constant: mu_0: The ratio of the magnetic flux density in the substance to the external field strength for vacuum. It is equivalent to 4 pi x 10-7 H/m.
Brewster's law (D. Brewster) - The extent or level of the polarization of light reflected from a transparent surface is maximum whenever the reflected ray is at right angle to the refracted ray.
Tardon: A particle that has a positive real mass and travels at a speed very less than c in all inertial frames.
Speed of light (in vacuo): c: The speed at which the electromagnetic radiation spreads in a vacuum; it is stated as 299 792 458 m/s.
Wien's displacement law constant, b: It is the constant of Wien displacement law. This has the value of 2.897 756 x 10-3 m K.
Kirchhoff's law of radiation (G.R. Kirchhoff): The emissivity of a body is equivalent to its absorbptance at similar temperature.
