On a clear night, when the effective blackbody temperature of the space is - 30°C, the air contains water vapor at a partial pressure equal to that of ice or liquid water at 0°C. A very thin film of water, initially at 20°C, is placed in a very shallow well-insulated pan, placed in a spot sheltered from the wind with a full view of the sky. If hc = 2.6 W/m². °C, state whether ice will form, supporting the conclusion with suitable calculations.

Question
On a clear night, when the effective blackbody temperature of the space is -
30°C, the air contains water vapor at a partial pressure equal to that of ice or
liquid water at 0°C. A very thin film of water, initially at 20°C, is placed in a very
shallow well-insulated pan, placed in a spot sheltered from the wind with a full
view of the sky. If hc = 2.6 W/m². °C, state whether ice will form, supporting the
conclusion with suitable calculations.
