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.

  • Appendix A: Symbols and Prefixes
    Appendix A: Symbols and Prefixes (Appendix A last revised November 2020) This appendix of the Author's Kit provides recommendations on prefixes, unit symbols and abbreviations, and factors for conversion into units of the International System. Prefixes Recommended prefixes indicating decimal multiples or submultiples of units and their symbols are as follows: Multiple Prefix Abbreviation 1024 yotta Y 1021 zetta Z 1018 exa E 1015 peta P 1012 tera T 109 giga G 106 mega M 103 kilo k 102 hecto h 10 deka da 10-1 deci d 10-2 centi c 10-3 milli m 10-6 micro μ 10-9 nano n 10-12 pico p 10-15 femto f 10-18 atto a 10-21 zepto z 10-24 yocto y Avoid using compound prefixes, such as micromicro for pico and kilomega for giga. The abbreviation of a prefix is considered to be combined with the abbreviation/symbol to which it is directly attached, forming with it a new unit symbol, which can be raised to a positive or negative power and which can be combined with other unit abbreviations/symbols to form abbreviations/symbols for compound units. For example: 1 cm3 = (10-2 m)3 = 10-6 m3 1 μs-1 = (10-6 s)-1 = 106 s-1 1 mm2/s = (10-3 m)2/s = 10-6 m2/s Abbreviations and Symbols Whenever possible, avoid using abbreviations and symbols in paragraph text; however, when it is deemed necessary to use such, define all but the most common at first use. The following is a recommended list of abbreviations/symbols for some important units.

  • 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.

Daley, Secretary Technology Administration Gary R. Bachula, Acting Under Secretary for Technology National Institute of Standards and Technology Robert E. Hebner, Acting Director PREFACE The calibration and related measurement services of the National Institute of Standards and Technology are intended to assist the makers and users of precision measuring instruments in achieving the highest possible levels of accuracy, quality, and productivity. NIST offers over 300 different calibrations, special tests, and measurement assurance services. These services allow customers to directly link their measurement systems to measurement systems and standards maintained by NIST. These services are offered to the public and private organizations alike. They are described in NIST Special Publication (SP) 250, NIST Calibration Services Users Guide. The Users Guide is supplemented by a number of Special Publications (designated as the “SP250 Series”) that provide detailed descriptions of the important features of specific NIST calibration services. These documents provide a description of the: (1) specifications for the services; (2) design philosophy and theory; (3) NIST measurement system; (4) NIST operational procedures; (5) assessment of the measurement uncertainty including random and systematic errors and an error budget; and (6) internal quality control procedures used by NIST. These documents will present more detail than can be given in NIST calibration reports, or than is generally allowed in articles in scientific journals. In the past, NIST has published such information in a variety of ways.

    Paper Code and Title: H01RS Residential Space Designing Module Code and Name: H01RS19 Light – measurement, related terms and units Name of the Content Writer: Dr. S. Visalakshi Rajeswari LIGHT – MEASUREMENT, RELATED TERMS AND UNITS Introduction Light is that part of the electromagnetic spectrum which will stimulate a response in the receptors of the eye. Its frequency usually expressed as wavelength determines the colour of light and its amplitude determines its intensity. Accommodation from the individual’s part enables focusing of vision. Hence the need to study lighting in interiors. Especially when activities are carried out indoors it is necessary to provide some sort of artificial illumination. In such circumstances, the designer should be aware of what (lighting) is provided and the satisfaction the ‘user’ derives out of it. 1. The radiant energy spectrum Vs visible spectrum Light is visually evaluated radiant energy (electromagnetic), which moves at a constant speed in vacuum. The entire radiant energy spectrum consists of waves of radiant energy that vary in wavelength of a wide range; an array of all rays - cosmic, gamma, UV, infra red, radar, x rays, the visible spectrum, FM, TV- and radio broadcast waves and power transmission. The portion of the radiant energy which is seen as light, identified as the spectrum visible to the human eye ranges from about 380 (400) to 780 (700) mµ (referred to as nanometers or millimicrons). A nanometer (nm) is a unit of wavelength equal to 10 -9 m. Light can thus be thought of as the aspect of radiant energy that is visible. Colour perception is attributed to the varying wavelengths noticeable within the spectrum of visible light.

  • Ikonos DN Value Conversion to Planetary Reflectance Values by David Fleming CRESS Project, UMCP Geography April 2001
    Ikonos DN Value Conversion to Planetary Reflectance Values By David Fleming CRESS Project, UMCP Geography April 2001 This paper was produced by the CRESS Project at the University of Maryland. CRESS is sponsored by the Earth Science Enterprise Applications Directorate at NASA Stennis Space Center. The following formula from the Landsat 7 Science Data Users Handbook was used to convert Ikonos DN values to planetary reflectance values: ρp = planetary reflectance Lλ = spectral radiance at sensor’s aperture 2 ρp = π * Lλ * d ESUNλ = band dependent mean solar exoatmospheric irradiance ESUNλ * cos(θs) θs = solar zenith angle d = earth-sun distance, in astronomical units For Landsat 7, the spectral radiance Lλ = gain * DN + offset, which can also be expressed as Lλ = (LMAX – LMIN)/255 *DN + LMIN. The LMAX and LMIN values for each of the Landsat bands are given below in Table 1. These values may vary for each scene and the metadata contains image specific values. Table 1.
