Space-based remote sensing uses sensors to detect different types of EM radiation.
A) Microwave remote sensing replies on radiation emitted by oxygen molecules at frequencies of 55 GHz. Calculate the corresponding wavelength.
B) An important visible remote sensing wavelength is the so called "mid-visible band" at a wavelength of 550nm. Calculate the frequency of this mid-visible radiation.
C) Calculate the energy associated with the radiation in the previous parts.
D) How many times more energetic is the visible radiation compared to the microwave radiation?
