Q:

Instruments for measuring Solar Radiation?

A) Ammeter B) Pyranometer
C) Dynamometer D) Anemometer
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Pyranometer

Explanation:

Solar radiation instruments may be produced to measure different types of solar energy. When sunlight encounters the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is absorbed or scattered by water vapor, aerosols, clouds, and other air molecules. The radiation which penetrates to the Earth's surface is termed direct solar radiation.

 

A thermopile pyranometer is a type of actinometer used for measuring solar radiation on a planar surface and it is designed to measure the solar radiation flux density (W/m2) from the hemisphere above within a wavelength range 0.3 μm to 3 μm.

Q:

What measures Air pressure?

A) Barkometer B) Bolometer
C) Spectrometer D) Barometer
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Barometer

Explanation:

Air Pressure can be defined as the pressure of air in the earth's atmosphere. It reaches a maximum of about 100,000 Pa near sea level and decreases as altitude increases.

The barometer is an instrument which is used for measuring Air pressure.

 

Physics instruments and their uses:

 

Barkometer  - - - Tanning liquors used in tanning leather

Bolometer  - - - Electromagnetic radiation

Spectrometer - - -  Properties of light.

Q:

Which has the lowest albedo?

A) dark surfaces B) light surfaces
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) dark surfaces

Explanation:

Albedo refers to a material's ability to reflect sunlight. Since 30% of the sun's energy is reflected by the entire earth, the earth has an average albedo of 0.30.

Generally, dark surfaces have a low albedo and light surfaces have a high albedo.
