Question

Remote Sensing:

Scattering, Rayleigh and other regimes

Question: If the direct beam transmission of light of 0.5 micron wavelength is 80%, what will be the transmission of light with a wavelength of 1 micron, assuming no absorption is involved at either wavelength?

Question: Sunlight shines through a salt shaker. Should you expect more, less, or the same amount of scattering from blue light compared to red light? How about for light shining through a plume of smoke?

Question: A typical radio frequency is 99.5 MHz, while a HD TV broadcast frequency is 600 MHz. Which one is your body position more likely to interfere with and why?

Answer 1

(1)

Solution:
Given that i Warre length (7) = 0.5 un 0 = 80% In = 0.8 Cransmission of light) when th= 1 um aut We know that The Relation blw Responsitivity of ware length of light, is given by R = nex home Rhe 2e since, na- Eq" ② Here to considor a Paramel y as a constant

ve n = Rho de 0.8 = Rhe os xia" хе Rho Ле Rho 1x Too xe Now, clivinding en Rhe o.5x10re x xidxe R2 Rho os na 04 N = 40% Hence Direct beam Transmision of light I um wavelength 40% of Thante
