Document Summary

[01] which of the following atmospheric gas(es) do not absorb significant amounts of solar radiation at the visible wavelengths (ca 400 700 nm): n2 (nitrogen, o2 (oxygen, visible wavelengths are not absorbed by any of these atmospheric gas(es). Ozone absorbs in the uv, carbon dioxide and water absorb in the infra-red, none of the major atmospheric gases absorb in the visible, the answer is h. [02] an incandescent human emits light with a maximum intensity at a color" in the infrared (ca. You may need to know that wein"s displacement law defines the wavelength of maximal photon flux as a constant divided by temperature in kelvin (k) ( max = 3. 6 106 (nm k) / t (k)): ca 0. 03 k, ca 30 k, ca 30,000 k (3. 6 106)/12000 = 300k, the answer is e. [03] an incandescent human emits light with a maximum color in the far-red (ca 12000 nm, beyond our vision capability).
