Assuming the Sun radiates as a blackbody at a temperature of 5800 K, calculate the expected surface temperature of the Earth, assuming that the Earth also acts as a perfect blackbody. Assume the Earth absorbs an amount of energy proportional to its cross-sectional area, but radiates as a spherical blackbody. If the Earth is in thermal equilibrium with outer space, then the energy received (mostly at visible wavelengths) must equal the amount of energy re- radiated (mostly) in the infrared....

A lot of blackbody irradiation emanates from the surface of the earth. Recall that light energy (and energy from any region of the electromagnetic spectrum) is quantized. The energy of a photon can be calculated as follows: E = hν = hcλ where h is the Planck constant (6.626×10−34 J⋅s), and c represents the speed of light (2.998×108 m/s). Calculate the energy (in joules) of each photon that is emitted from a patch of ground that is at 32 ∘C....
