If we have a measurement of radiation in the blue spectrum range at the top of the atmosphere and on the ground on a clear-sky day, which measurement is stronger (or the same)? Explain the process that causes the differentiation (or no change).
Homework Answers
The blue light at the top of the atmosphere will be more intense than the ground on a clear day. This is because of the scattering of blue light that occurs at the top of the atmosphere, when sunlight is incident. This is why the sky appears to be an intense blue on a clear day.
The scattered light originates from the absorption of incoming sunlight by atoms in the atmosphere and is re-emitted by these atoms. This absorption and re-emission of blue wavelength occurs because it has a smaller wavelength than the rest of the light, and is more easily absorbed and re-emitted by the smaller gaseous atoms.

Absorption and transmission: When a photon of light hits a molecule of gas or a particle in the atmosphere, there are three possibilities: 1) it can be absorbed (the energy is converted to heat), 2) it can be reflected (it continues on but in a different direction), 3) or it can be transmitted. These processes determine our ability to see distant objects (such as the mountains around Los Angeles and Irvine) and the colors in the sky (such as blue...

Electromagnetic Waves UV Radiation Some of us are all too familiar with the ill- effects of over-exposure to ultraviolet (UV) electromagnetic radiation, namely, sunburns (solar erythema). UV radiation can kill the skin cells immediately below the surface (part of the epidermal layer). Over the course of several minutes or several hours, as enough skin cells are killed or damaged, the body's natural immune response is triggered. The body responds to the damage with increased blood flow to the capillary bed of...

2. Our sun has a power output of roughly 3.87 1026 watts (W). This energy is transmitted essentially uniformly in all directions. By the time this radiation reaches the Earth, which has an average distance from the sun of 1.50 x 10" m, what is the intensity? (Recall that intensity is defined to be power per unit area). 3. The energy from the sun is primarily in the infrared and visual wavelengths. The following table gives the...

One measure of variation that we can look at is the Range when we have continuous variables. We will be using this measure to create a histogram. A histogram is used to show the frequencies of certain events or categories of data values in a set of data from one time period. Data are plotted in increasing or deceasing order based on the frequency count for each data categories. Assignment I Below is a data file containing the average number...
