Why appliances have Efficiency Ratings. Short wavelengths are scattered more, first. Makes blues Particles much smaller than wavelengths being scattered Gases 2. Makes reds Particles about the same size as the wavelengths being scattered Water molecules, dust 3. The higher the temperature of an object, the shorter the wavelengths it emits.
Energy degrades from higher to lower forms.
Why Earth radiation longer wavelength than Sun. High albedo 3. Low albedo 4. See Figure 3.8, page 67. Temps 2000 degrees F and higher.
