Week 1 Review of EM spectrum, fluxes and intensities Flashcards
1
Q
why are some wavelengths detectable and other not
A
different wavebands are absorbed differently by the atmosphere
2
Q
what is the idealised detector energy flux eqn
A
E = FAt
3
Q
what is the monochromatic intensity eqn
A
dE = IvdAdtdvdΩ
4
Q
what is the surface flux eqn
A
Fv = πIvsin^2(π/2)
