Assuming that your surface temperature is 97.7 F and that you are an ideal blackbody radiator (you are close), find (a) the wavelength at which your spectral radiancy is maximum, (b) the power at which you emit thermal radiation in a wavelength range of 1.00 nm at that wavelength, from a surface area of 4.10 cm2, and (c) the corresponding rate at which you emit photons from that area. Using a wavelength of 500 nm (in the visible range), (d)...

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....
