A typical car's exterior consists of a thin layer of silica (SiO2) over an opaque painted metal panel.
Silica is transparent in the visible wavelengths but offers high reflectance in the near- to mid-
infrared wavelengths. The plot on the next page depicts the diffuse spectral reflectivity (pa) of the
car's surface:

If the car's exterior temperature is T₁ = 77°C, determine both the total absorptivity (a) and the total
emissivity (a) of the silica-covered panel. Assume that the Sun's temperature is Tsun = 5800 K.
A body at 1100ºc in a black surrounding at 550ºc has emissivity of 0.4 at 1100ºc and emissivity 0.7 at 550ºc. calculate the rate of heat loss by radiation per unit surface area;
i) when the body is assumed to be grey with emissivity 0.4
ii) when the body is not grey.

ature measured at the top-of-atmosphere based on the upwards flux Ft there). Assume radiative
equilibrium.

temperature T, and the measured temperature Tm by
