Glossary Physics (I-Introduction)
1 Glossary Physics (I-introduction) - Efficiency: The percent of the work put into a machine that is converted into useful work output; = work done / energy used [-]. = eta In machines: The work output of any machine cannot exceed the work input (<=100%); in an ideal machine, where no energy is transformed into heat: work(input) = work(output), =100%. Energy: The property of a system that enables it to do work. Conservation o. E.: Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it may be transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of energy never changes. Equilibrium: The state of an object when not acted upon by a net force or net torque; an object in equilibrium may be at rest or moving at uniform velocity - not accelerating. Mechanical E.: The state of an object or system of objects for which any impressed forces cancels to zero and no acceleration occurs. Dynamic E.: Object is moving without experiencing acceleration. Static E.: Object is at rest.F Force: The influence that can cause an object to be accelerated or retarded; is always in the direction of the net force, hence a vector quantity; the four elementary forces are: Electromagnetic F.: Is an attraction or repulsion G, gravit. const.6.672E-11[Nm2/kg2] between electric charges: d, distance [m] 2 2 2 2 F = 1/(40) (q1q2/d ) [(CC/m )(Nm /C )] = [N] m,M, mass [kg] Gravitational F.: Is a mutual attraction between all masses: q, charge [As] [C] 2 2 2 2 F = GmM/d [Nm /kg kg 1/m ] = [N] 0, dielectric constant Strong F.: (nuclear force) Acts within the nuclei of atoms: 8.854E-12 [C2/Nm2] [F/m] 2 2 2 2 2 F = 1/(40) (e /d ) [(CC/m )(Nm /C )] = [N] , 3.14 [-] Weak F.: Manifests itself in special reactions among elementary e, 1.60210 E-19 [As] [C] particles, such as the reaction that occur in radioactive decay. -

About SI Units
Units SI units: International system of units (French: “SI” means “Système Internationale”) The seven SI base units are: Mass: kg Defined by the prototype “standard kilogram” located in Paris. The standard kilogram is made of Pt metal. Length: m Originally defined by the prototype “standard meter” located in Paris. Then defined as 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the orange-red radiation of Krypton86 under certain specified conditions. (Official definition: The distance traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1 / 299 792 458 of a second) Time: s The second is defined as the duration of a certain number of oscillations of radiation coming from Cs atoms. (Official definition: The second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation of the hyperfine- level transition of the ground state of the Cs133 atom) Current: A Defined as the current that causes a certain force between two parallel wires. (Official definition: The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10-7 Newton per meter of length. Temperature: K One percent of the temperature difference between boiling point and freezing point of water.

Black Body Radiation and Radiometric Parameters
Black Body Radiation and Radiometric Parameters: All materials absorb and emit radiation to some extent. A blackbody is an idealization of how materials emit and absorb radiation. It can be used as a reference for real source properties. An ideal blackbody absorbs all incident radiation and does not reflect. This is true at all wavelengths and angles of incidence. Thermodynamic principals dictates that the BB must also radiate at all ’s and angles. The basic properties of a BB can be summarized as: 1. Perfect absorber/emitter at all ’s and angles of emission/incidence. Cavity BB 2. The total radiant energy emitted is only a function of the BB temperature. 3. Emits the maximum possible radiant energy from a body at a given temperature. 4. The BB radiation field does not depend on the shape of the cavity. The radiation field must be homogeneous and isotropic. T If the radiation going from a BB of one shape to another (both at the same T) were different it would cause a cooling or heating of one or the other cavity. This would violate the 1st Law of Thermodynamics. T T A B Radiometric Parameters: 1. Solid Angle dA d r 2 where dA is the surface area of a segment of a sphere surrounding a point. r d A r is the distance from the point on the source to the sphere. The solid angle looks like a cone with a spherical cap. z r d r r sind y r sin x An element of area of a sphere 2 dA rsin d d Therefore dd sin d The full solid angle surrounding a point source is: 2 dd sind 00 2cos 0 4 Or integrating to other angles < : 21cos The unit of solid angle is steradian. -
Section 22-3: Energy, Momentum and Radiation Pressure
Answer to Essential Question 22.2: (a) To find the wavelength, we can combine the equation with the fact that the speed of light in air is 3.00 " 108 m/s. Thus, a frequency of 1 " 1018 Hz corresponds to a wavelength of 3 " 10-10 m, while a frequency of 90.9 MHz corresponds to a wavelength of 3.30 m. (b) Using Equation 22.2, with c = 3.00 " 108 m/s, gives an amplitude of . 22-3 Energy, Momentum and Radiation Pressure All waves carry energy, and electromagnetic waves are no exception. We often characterize the energy carried by a wave in terms of its intensity, which is the power per unit area. At a particular point in space that the wave is moving past, the intensity varies as the electric and magnetic fields at the point oscillate. It is generally most useful to focus on the average intensity, which is given by: . (Eq. 22.3: The average intensity in an EM wave) Note that Equations 22.2 and 22.3 can be combined, so the average intensity can be calculated using only the amplitude of the electric field or only the amplitude of the magnetic field. Momentum and radiation pressure As we will discuss later in the book, there is no mass associated with light, or with any EM wave. Despite this, an electromagnetic wave carries momentum. The momentum of an EM wave is the energy carried by the wave divided by the speed of light. If an EM wave is absorbed by an object, or it reflects from an object, the wave will transfer momentum to the object. -

Ampere’s Law states that But it is zero on S2 since there is no conduction current through it. This is a contradiction. Maxwell fixed it by introducing the displacement current: Fig. 34-1, p. 984 Maxwell hypothesized that a changing electric field creates an induced magnetic field. Induced Fields . An increasing solenoid current causes an increasing magnetic field, which induces a circular electric field.

Extraction of Incident Irradiance from LWIR Hyperspectral Imagery Pierre Lahaie, DRDC Valcartier 2459 De La Bravoure Road, Quebec, Qc, Canada
DRDC-RDDC-2015-P140 Extraction of incident irradiance from LWIR hyperspectral imagery Pierre Lahaie, DRDC Valcartier 2459 De la Bravoure Road, Quebec, Qc, Canada ABSTRACT The atmospheric correction of thermal hyperspectral imagery can be separated in two distinct processes: Atmospheric Compensation (AC) and Temperature and Emissivity separation (TES). TES requires for input at each pixel, the ground leaving radiance and the atmospheric downwelling irradiance, which are the outputs of the AC process. The extraction from imagery of the downwelling irradiance requires assumptions about some of the pixels’ nature, the sensor and the atmosphere. Another difficulty is that, often the sensor’s spectral response is not well characterized. To deal with this unknown, we defined a spectral mean operator that is used to filter the ground leaving radiance and a computation of the downwelling irradiance from MODTRAN. A user will select a number of pixels in the image for which the emissivity is assumed to be known. The emissivity of these pixels is assumed to be smooth and that the only spectrally fast varying variable in the downwelling irradiance. Using these assumptions we built an algorithm to estimate the downwelling irradiance. The algorithm is used on all the selected pixels. The estimated irradiance is the average on the spectral channels of the resulting computation. The algorithm performs well in simulation and results are shown for errors in the assumed emissivity and for errors in the atmospheric profiles. The sensor noise influences mainly the required number of pixels. Keywords: Hyperspectral imagery, atmospheric correction, temperature emissivity separation 1. INTRODUCTION The atmospheric correction of thermal hyperspectral imagery aims at extracting the temperature and the emissivity of the material imaged by a sensor in the long wave infrared (LWIR) spectral band. -
