Document Summary
Review: hand in forecasts / hw #4, last week saturday high 25, low 19, precip. 37 inches (snow = 6. 7 inches) (18 to 1 ratio: a little more snow due to more northerly track of surface cyclone, weekly discussions, hw #3 discussion. Review: u = q w, u = internal energy, q = heat added (taken away) to the system, w = work done by the system, what law does this statement obey, the first law of thermodynamics. More review: e = hv, h is a constant. Higher frequency equals higher energy: = c / v , c = 3 x 10^8 m/s (speed of light) Shorter wavelength = higher energy e ~ 1/ . At the earth"s surface : no radiation is transmitted through the ground (i. e. t = 0, so a + r = 1 meaning the surface absorbs whatever radiation is not reflected.
