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. -

TIE-35: Transmittance of Optical Glass
DATE October 2005 . PAGE 1/12 TIE-35: Transmittance of optical glass 0. Introduction Optical glasses are optimized to provide excellent transmittance throughout the total visible range from 400 to 800 nm. Usually the transmittance range spreads also into the near UV and IR regions. As a general trend lowest refractive index glasses show high transmittance far down to short wavelengths in the UV. Going to higher index glasses the UV absorption edge moves closer to the visible range. For highest index glass and larger thickness the absorption edge already reaches into the visible range. This UV-edge shift with increasing refractive index is explained by the general theory of absorbing dielectric media. So it may not be overcome in general. However, due to improved melting technology high refractive index glasses are offered nowadays with better blue-violet transmittance than in the past. And for special applications where best transmittance is required SCHOTT offers improved quality grades like for SF57 the grade SF57 HHT. The aim of this technical information is to give the optical designer a deeper understanding on the transmittance properties of optical glass. 1. Theoretical background A light beam with the intensity I0 falls onto a glass plate having a thickness d (figure 1-1). At the entrance surface part of the beam is reflected. Therefore after that the intensity of the beam is Ii0=I0(1-r) with r being the reflectivity. Inside the glass the light beam is attenuated according to the exponential function. At the exit surface the beam intensity is I i = I i0 exp(-kd) [1.1] where k is the absorption constant. -
Reflectance and Transmittance Sphere
Reflectance and Transmittance Sphere Spectral Evolution four inch portable reflectance/ transmittance sphere is ideal for measuring vegetation physiological states SPECTRAL EVOLUTION offers a portable, compact four inch reflectance/transmittance (R/T) integrating sphere for measuring the reflectance and transmittance of vegetation. The 4 inch R/T sphere is lightweight and portable so you can take it into the field for in situ meas- urements, delivered with a stand as well as a ¼-20 mount for use with tripods. When used with a SPECTRAL EVOLUTION spectrometer or spectroradiometer such as the PSR+, RS-3500, RS- 5400, SR-6500 or RS-8800, it delivers detailed information for measurements of transmittance and reflectance modes. Two varying light intensity levels (High and Low) allow for a broader range of samples to be measured. Light reflected or transmitted from a sample in a sphere is integrated over a full hemisphere, with measurements insensitive to sample anisotropic directional reflectance (transmittance). This provides repeatable measurements of a variety of samples. The 4 inch portable R/T sphere can be used in vegetation studies such as, deriving absorbance characteristics, and estimating the leaf area index (LAI) from radiation reflected from a canopy surface. The sphere allows researchers to limit destructive sampling and provides timely data acquisition of key material samples. The R/T sphere allows you to collect all diffuse light reflected from a sample – measuring total hemispherical reflectance. You can measure reflectance and transmittance, and calculate absorption. You can select the bulb inten- sity level that suits your sample. A white reference is provided for both reflectance and transmittance measurements. -
Illumination and Distance
PHYS 1400: Physical Science Laboratory Manual ILLUMINATION AND DISTANCE INTRODUCTION How bright is that light? You know, from experience, that a 100W light bulb is brighter than a 60W bulb. The wattage measures the energy used by the bulb, which depends on the bulb, not on where the person observing it is located. But you also know that how bright the light looks does depend on how far away it is. That 100W bulb is still emitting the same amount of energy every second, but if you are farther away from it, the energy is spread out over a greater area. You receive less energy, and perceive the light as less bright. But because the light energy is spread out over an area, it’s not a linear relationship. When you double the distance, the energy is spread out over four times as much area. If you triple the distance, the area is nine Twice the distance, ¼ as bright. Triple the distance? 11% as bright. times as great, meaning that you receive only 1/9 (or 11%) as much energy from the light source. To quantify the amount of light, we will use units called lux. The idea is simple: energy emitted per second (Watts), spread out over an area (square meters). However, a lux is not a W/m2! A lux is a lumen per m2. So, what is a lumen? Technically, it’s one candela emitted uniformly across a solid angle of 1 steradian. That’s not helping, is it? Examine the figure above. The source emits light (energy) in all directions simultaneously. -

Applied Spectroscopy Spectroscopic Nomenclature
Applied Spectroscopy Spectroscopic Nomenclature Absorbance, A Negative logarithm to the base 10 of the transmittance: A = –log10(T). (Not used: absorbancy, extinction, or optical density). (See Note 3). Absorptance, α Ratio of the radiant power absorbed by the sample to the incident radiant power; approximately equal to (1 – T). (See Notes 2 and 3). Absorption The absorption of electromagnetic radiation when light is transmitted through a medium; hence ‘‘absorption spectrum’’ or ‘‘absorption band’’. (Not used: ‘‘absorbance mode’’ or ‘‘absorbance band’’ or ‘‘absorbance spectrum’’ unless the ordinate axis of the spectrum is Absorbance.) (See Note 3). Absorption index, k See imaginary refractive index. Absorptivity, α Internal absorbance divided by the product of sample path length, ℓ , and mass concentration, ρ , of the absorbing material. A / α = i ρℓ SI unit: m2 kg–1. Common unit: cm2 g–1; L g–1 cm–1. (Not used: absorbancy index, extinction coefficient, or specific extinction.) Attenuated total reflection, ATR A sampling technique in which the evanescent wave of a beam that has been internally reflected from the internal surface of a material of high refractive index at an angle greater than the critical angle is absorbed by a sample that is held very close to the surface. (See Note 3.) Attenuation The loss of electromagnetic radiation caused by both absorption and scattering. Beer–Lambert law Absorptivity of a substance is constant with respect to changes in path length and concentration of the absorber. Often called Beer’s law when only changes in concentration are of interest. Brewster’s angle, θB The angle of incidence at which the reflection of p-polarized radiation is zero. -
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.
