What is difference between incident ray and a reflected ray?
A ray of light which strikes the surface is called incident ray and a surface which is reflected is called a reflected ray
What is the fraction if solar radiation that is reflect off a particular surface called?
There is no special name. The fraction of sunlight which is reflected will be different from the fraction of other light. The reflectivity of a surface varies with the wavelength of the incident light.
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is?
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is called albedo. With albedo, sunlight is reflected which prevents solar energy from being absorbed in the ground.
What is Light reflected from a mineral surface called?
Luster
What is sunlight reflected from the earth to the moon and back called?
It's called a Lunar Eclipse or Solar Eclipse!
What is radiant energy reflected back by a surface called?
Albedo
What is the fraction of total radiation that is reflected by any surface called?
It is the reflectivity of the surface. However, it is important to note that the reflected fraction depends on the wavelength of the incident light.
What is the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected off a particular surface called?
There is no particular term. This is because the reflectivity of a surface varies across the electromagnetic spectrum so a surface which reflects a large proportion of blue wavelengths in sunlight may or may not reflect a similar proportion of red wavelengths.
What is the fraction of the total radiation encountered that is reflected by a surface called?
albedo
What term is used to describe incoming solar radiation?
25% is absorbed by clouds.25% is reflected by clouds.45% is absorbed by the earth's surface.5% is reflected by the earth's surface.So 50% reaches the surface of the earth (But 5% of that is reflected).
What do you call the bouncing of a waves from the surface?
reflectionWhen a wave bounces off a surface, it is said to have been reflected and the wave is called a reflection.reflectionWhen a wave bounces off a surface, it is said to have been reflected and the wave is called a reflection.
What is the GAS portion of the earth's surface called?
It is the atmosphere.
