,Why .is .the .air .closest .to .the .surface .cooler .at .night? .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-
earth's .surface .has .a .radiation .deficit, .thus .cooling .and .conduction .then .cools
.the .air .in .contact .with .the .surface


What .is .a .nocturnal .inversion? .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-When .low .level .air

Define .Wien's .Law .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-The .hotter .an .object, .the .shorter .the
.wavelength .at .maximum .emission. .(The .hotter .the .object .the .brighter)


According .to .Wein's .law .where .does .peak .emission .occur? .- .CORRECT
.ANSWER-At .infrared .wavelengths


Stephan-Boltzmann .Law .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-As .temperature .increases .so
.does .the .amount .of .energy .emitted


Kirchhoff's .Law .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-With .constant .temperature, .an .object .that
.absorbs .radiation .efficiently .at .a .particular .wavelength .will .also .emit .radiation
.efficiently .at .that .wavelength.
