Define radiation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the emission and transmission of energy
through particles or waves
Define electromagnetic spectrum - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the range of
wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends.
Define conduction - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The transfer kinetic of energy from
particle to particle.
Give and example of conduction - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Cold spoon into hot soup
Define thermal conductivity - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The ability of an object to
transfer heat

,Why is the air closest to the surface cooler at night? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔earth's surface has a radiation deficit, thus cooling and conduction then
3
cools the air in contact with the surface
What is a nocturnal inversion? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔When low level air
temperatures are cooler due to conduction, while temperature of the air
above increases with altitude
Define convection - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The transfer of heat via vertical
movement of air
What is free convection? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Warm air rising freely
Define Planck's law - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Every object emits radiation at all
times and at all wavelengths.
Define Wien's Law - 🧠 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? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔At infrared wavelengths
Stephan-Boltzmann Law - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔As temperature increases so
does the amount of energy emitted

, Kirchhoff's Law - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔With constant temperature, an object that
absorbs radiation efficiently at a particular wavelength will also emit
4
radiation efficiently at that wavelength.
When electromagnetic radiation strikes a surface what can happen to the
radiation? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1) Absorption
2) Scattering
3) Transmission
Define radiation transmission - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔When radiation passes
through an object virtually unaffected
What is an example of radiation transmission - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Visible light
passing through a glass window
Describe radiation absorption - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Extinguishing of radiation,
amount of radiation extinguished depends on radiation wavelength and
object composition
Describe radiation scattering - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Reflecting of radiation off an
object
