Oblique is defined as 'slanting or inclined in direction, neither parallel nor perpendicular'. Oblique rays, such as those that come from the sun during winter, tend to bounce away more than they are absorbed, due to being shot at a wide angle.

Oblique rays are merely those rays whose angle of incidence is less than 45o. Acute rays are those that impact between 45o and 90o to the surface.

All of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrives as oblique rays?

Oblique.


How are oblique rays different from vertical rays?

Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)


Oblique rays are different from vertical rays because they?

They contain more solar energy!


If a dark field condenser causes all light rays to bypass the objective where does the light come from that makes an object visible in a dark field?

Oblique rays that strike the object. Oblique rays strike the object being viewed, illuminating the object and reflect light rays up through the objective.


How oblique rays are different from vertical rays?

These two types of rays differ in their Angles of Incidence: vertical rays bounce down and then right back up into themselves while oblique rays bounce off at different angles (vectors) from the incident angle of the incoming rays, also called waves. Compare this to horizontal rays that while sent out side to side, if they do not hit a mountain range, they will wave away indefinitely forever.


What is the colder at high latitudes because the sun's rays strike earths surface at a angle there?

Oblique


Why do the vertical solar rays produce more heat?

Because vertical solar rays are less oblique during Sumner and are concentrated over smaller areas


What is the relation between oblique and vertical incidence?

Oblique incidence applies to rays that are incident at some angle OTHER THAN at right angles (90 degrees) to the surface on which they are incident. Vertical incidence IS at right angles.


What is the different between oblique rays and vertical rays?

Either the answer will be that they contain more solar energy, it strike's the earth at an angle greater than 90 degrees, or it could be that they spread energy over a larger surface area.

Why April month so hot in southern India?

Southern India lies in the equatorial belt. It receives almost vertical rays from the sun throughout april. These rays have a greater heating effect than oblique rays. Hence, south India is very hot in the month of April.


Does the equator receive oblique rays?

Sure. A single point on the equator receives direct solar rays at one instant of time sometime around March 21. Another single point on the equator receives direct solar rays at another instant of time sometime around September 22. Those two points receive oblique/indirect solar rays at all other times, and all other points on the equator receive them at all times.
