What happens to solar energy ?
1. Absorption (absorptivity=)
Results in conduction, convection
and long-wave emission
2. Transmission (transmissivity=)
3. Reflection (reflectivity=)
+ + = 1
![Page 4: What happens to solar energy ? 1.Absorption (absorptivity= ) Results in conduction, convection and long-wave emission 2.Transmission (transmissivity=](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649d605503460f94a40c01/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Response varies with the surface type
Snow reflects 40 to 95% of solar energy and requires a phase change to increase above 0°C
Forests and oceans absorb more than dry lands Then why do dry lands still “heat up” more?
Oceans transmit solar energy and have a high heat capacity
![Page 5: What happens to solar energy ? 1.Absorption (absorptivity= ) Results in conduction, convection and long-wave emission 2.Transmission (transmissivity=](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649d605503460f94a40c01/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Characteristics of Radiation
Energy due to rapid oscillations of electromagnetic fields, transferred by photons
The energy of a photon is equal to Planck’s constant, multiplied bythe speed of light, divided by thewavelength
All bodies above 0 K emit radiation
Black body emits maximum possible radiation per unit area.Emissivity, = 1.0
All bodies have an emissivity between 0 and 1
E = hv

Electromagnetic Radiation
Consists of electrical field(E) and magnetic field (M)
Travels at speed of light (C)
The shorter the wavelength,the higher the frequency
This is important forunderstanding informationobtained in remote sensing
![Page 7: What happens to solar energy ? 1.Absorption (absorptivity= ) Results in conduction, convection and long-wave emission 2.Transmission (transmissivity=](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649d605503460f94a40c01/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Stefan-Boltzmann Law
As the temperature of an object increases, more radiation is emitted each second
![Page 8: What happens to solar energy ? 1.Absorption (absorptivity= ) Results in conduction, convection and long-wave emission 2.Transmission (transmissivity=](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649d605503460f94a40c01/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Temperature determines E, emitted
Higher frequencies (shorter wavelengths) are emitted from bodies at a higher temperature
Max Planck determined a characteristic emission curve whose shape is retained for radiation at 6000 K (Sun) and 300 K (Earth)
Energy emitted = (T0)4
Radiant flux or flux density refers to the rate of flowof radiation per unit area (eg., Wm-2)
Irradiance = incident radiant flux densityEmittance = emitted radiant flux density

Wien’s Displacement LawAs the temperature of a body increases, so does the total energy and the proportion of shorter wavelengths
max = (2.88 x 10-3)/(T0) *wavelength in metres
Sun’s max = 0.48 m Ultraviolet to infrared - 99% short-wave (0.15 to 3.0 m)
Earth’s max = 10 m Infrared - 99% longwave (3.0 to 100 m)

UV are shortestwavelengths practicalfor remote sensing
We are blind to everything except this narrow band
Microwaves are longestwavelengths used inremote sensing

Transmission through the Atmosphere
Radiation emitted from Earth is of a much longer wavelength and is ofmuch lesser energy
Some wavelengths of E-M energy are absorbed and scatteredmore efficiently thanothers
H2O, CO2, and ozone have the strongest absorption spectra
TransmissionLight moves through asurface (eg. on a naturalsurface)Wavelength dependent(eg. leaves)
