Heat is transferred from the sun-warmed surface of the earth to the cooler overlying troposphere via <u>conduction.</u>

<u />

<h3>Heat transfer from earth to atmosphere:</h3>

Conduction, convection, latent heating, and water phase transitions all help to carry heat from the Earth's surface, which has been warmed by the Sun, to the cooler troposphere above.

Latent heat flux is the worldwide transfer of latent heat energy via water and air currents. Here, we demonstrate how air circulation transports latent heat energy horizontally to cooler regions, where it condenses into rain or is deposited as snow, releasing the heat energy that was previously trapped there.

When air is heated from below by sunshine or by coming into contact with a warmer land or sea surface, convection occurs and the air below becomes less dense than the air above.

Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a w
amm1812

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

1)

  • Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

        v = \lambda * f (1)

  • Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

       f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)

⇒     f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

2)

  • Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       v =\frac{d}{t} (3)

       where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

       d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

  • Solving for t, we get:

       t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)

       ⇒  t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)

A piece of warm concrete is placed in a cold-water tank, and energy flows between the concrete and the water. Which way does the
sammy [17]

Answer:

Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up. This is a natural phenomenon we experience all the time.
