The average reflectance is then determined by an averaging process, using a standard solar spectrum. This method is documented by ASTM (Amer. Soc. for ...

A wave changes directions when its speed changes This is called?
Reflection, or refraction, depending on what causes the change in direction.
What is incoming solar radiation called?
incident ray i think
What is it called when a seismic wave bounces backward as it reaches a boundary?
Answer: When a seismic wave 'bounces backward' and reaches a boundary, it is called Reflection. Explanation: The seismic waves are the result of the landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, explosions by humans
What are the forms of solar energy?
The two primary forms of solar energy are Solar Heat (also called CSP, or Concentrating Solar Power) and Solar Photovoltaic.
What is a good solgan about solar?
Go solar and save dollars !
What objects use the reflection of light to enable them to carry out their function?
Mirrors, solar panels, etc.
Does give off light in the solar system apart from the sun?
No. The moon is a reflection of the sun's light
Can you look at a solar eclipse without it hurting you?
You should never look directly at a solar eclipse as it will damage your eyes. Look at it wearing very dark glasses or indirectly in a reflection in water
What effect does the ozone have on reflection and absorption of your solar system?
The ozone has a property of absorbing the UV rays. These rays have fatal properties.
Why is it important for a solar cell to reflect as little light as possible?
Less reflection, more absorbtion. More absorbtion, greater efficiency.
Is it safe to see the solar eclipse in the reflection of water?
No because the ultra violet and the infra red will still reflect of the water to your eye
Volcanic dust and ash can remain in the atmosphere for months or years causing?
Solar reflection will decrease, and temperature will decrease.
Can you see the moon during a solar eclipse?
When a solar eclipse happens the moon is in front of the sun. So you see the shadow of the moon you do not see the reflection of the sunlight though. The only thing you see is the shadow of the moon and the sun's corona.
What is a reflection of a reflection?
A reflection.
What is diffusing reflection?
When the rays of light do not follow the laws of reflection, then this type of reflection is called diffused reflection.
What is a reflection in the mirror called?
A reflection
What is difference between direct and diffuse solar radiation?
— Direct solar beam - have specific directions, from sun to earth's surfaces - 17 % — Diffuse radiation from clouds - 21 % and from sky - 7 % (comes from all directions of the hemisphere) — Reflectivity is the reflected fraction of incident radiation at specific wavelength. — Albedo (α) is the reflection over the entire solar spectrum (the whole range of wavelengths). Examples: — Snow is very reflective to visible and completely reflective to infrared radiation. Albedo is 1 or 100 %. In leaves, there is less absorption and more reflection for the green light in the visible spectrum, compared to blue and red light, where reflection is much less, causing the leaves to be appeared as green.
