An infrared satellite measures outgoing radiation that leaves Earth's surface through an atmospheric window. The observed spectral irradiance at a wavelength of 10 μm is 2.199×107 W m-2 m-1. What is the temperature of the surface? Give your answer in K.

Assume the intensity of solar radiation incident on the cloud tops of the Earth is 1 677 W/m². (a) Taking the average Earth-Sun separation to be 1.496 x 10¹1 m, calculate the total power radiated by the Sun. 4.905E26 x Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. W (b) Determine the maximum value of the electric field in the sunlight at the Earth's location. kv/m (c) Determine the maximum value of the magnetic field in the sunlight at the Earth's location. μT

Suppose a star with radius 8.57 × 108 m has a peak wavelength of 680 nm in the spectrum of its emitted radiation. (a) Find the energy of a photon with this wavelength. J/photon (b) What is the surface temperature of the star? K (c) At what rate is energy emitted from the star in the form of radiation? Assume the star is a blackbody (e = 1). W (d) Using the answer to part (a), estimate the rate at which photons leave the surface of the star. photons/s

The figure below depicts spectral reflectance measurements for three different materials:  a green leaf from a healthy plant, a sheet of shiny blue paper, and the palm of a human hand.  The measurements are labeled 1 (black line), 2 (red line), and 3 (blue line).  Match the measurements to the most appropriate material type
