Atmospheric Sciences 101Homework 4Due November 18, 2003Name_______________________________ Section_________________1. A blackbody warms from 250°K to 300°K and the amount of radiation it emitschanges. What is the ratio of the amount of radiation emitted at these twotemperatures? (radiation at 300K/radiation at 250K)2. If the Jupiter's upper cloud deck has a temperature of 173°K and the temperatureofMercury's surface is 533°K, what is the wavelength of peak emission for eachbody? To what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does each of these twowavelengths belong?3. An object of mass 2 kg is being accelerated from rest at an acceleration of 5 m s-2. What is its new speed 30 minutes later if the acceleration is always along thedirection of motion?4. If mankind added some gas to the atmosphere that got rid of the "IR window" between 8 and 12 microns, how would the earth's climate change?5. Suppose the rate of rotation of the Earth was increased. What effect would thishave on the Coriolis force and the strength of the geostrophic
