As the temperature decreases, the peak of the black-body
radiation curve moves to lower intensities and longer
wavelengths.




                                                               Sun                                                                                  Atmosphere


The spectrum of solar radiation (at the top of the
atmosphere) and a blackbody with T=6000 K.                           In visible range how generously Sun is sending radiations, earth is
Wien's Law:                                                          receiving these radiations in this range without atmospheric                                                In visible range most of the radiation is transmitted towards the earth
The wavelength of maximum brightness is inversely
proportional to the gas temperature                                  hindrance and our nerves of eyes are also well adapted for this                                             without much absorption
or, wmax = (a conversion constant) / T                               range . How brilliant combination of nature! How long??
The peak of sun’s energy is falling on 0.5 μm and in visible
range we are getting most of the sun’s energy (40%).

As a consequence of Wien's displacement Law this
situation is not constant. The peak will shift to the longer
wavelengths side and total energy will also reduce as per                                                                                                         Courtesy: Pictures/graphs and text are mostly downloaded from Wikipedia

  • 1. Color Vision The human visual system can detect the range of light spectrum from about 400 nanometers (violet) to about 700 nanometers (red). Our visual system perceives this range of light wave frequencies as a smoothly varying rainbow of colors. We call this range of light frequencies the visual spectrum. Photopic vision is the vision of the eye under well-lit conditions. In humans and many animals, photopic vision allows color perception, mediated by cone cells. The human eye uses three types of cones to sense light in three respective bands of color. The biological pigments of the cones have maximum absorption values at wavelengths of about 420 nm (blue), 534 nm (Bluish-Green), resp. 564 nm (Yellowish-Green). Their sensitivity ranges overlap to provide vision throughout the visible spectrum. The maximum efficacy is 683 lumens/W at a wavelength of 555 nm (green).

What will happen if this coincidence get disturbed? Will our eyes modify as per new situations in future? Can we describe some historical events like ice age, extinction of many species of plants and animals in light of this combination disturbance? As the temperature decreases, the peak of the black-body radiation curve moves to lower intensities and longer wavelengths. Sun Atmosphere The spectrum of solar radiation (at the top of the atmosphere) and a blackbody with T=6000 K. In visible range how generously Sun is sending radiations, earth is Wien's Law: receiving these radiations in this range without atmospheric In visible range most of the radiation is transmitted towards the earth The wavelength of maximum brightness is inversely proportional to the gas temperature hindrance and our nerves of eyes are also well adapted for this without much absorption or, wmax = (a conversion constant) / T range . How brilliant combination of nature! How long?? The peak of sun’s energy is falling on 0.5 μm and in visible range we are getting most of the sun’s energy (40%). As a consequence of Wien's displacement Law this situation is not constant. The peak will shift to the longer wavelengths side and total energy will also reduce as per Courtesy: Pictures/graphs and text are mostly downloaded from Wikipedia Stefan’s Law as the sun’s temperature will reduce in future
