How would light intensity and humidity

AI Thread Summary
Humidity significantly impacts water infiltration in soil, as moist air reduces evaporation rates, allowing for better absorption. Higher light intensity increases evaporation, which can hinder water infiltration into the soil. Conversely, lower light intensity promotes better infiltration by minimizing evaporation. Therefore, both humidity and light intensity play crucial roles in determining how effectively water penetrates the soil. Understanding these factors is essential for effective water management in agricultural practices.

affect the infiltration of water in the soil? :bugeye:


Thank you thank you thank you.. :]
 
Science news on Phys.org
if it is humid air that the water is around, then it will not evaporate as readily as if it was dry air. The more moist or saturated the outside air is, the better the infiltration of water in the soil. Light intensity is the same idea, the more intense the lighting, the more Btu of energy wil go into the water, causing it to evaporate more readily. So the less intense the lighting, the better the infiltration.

Thank u..

Veryyy much!
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
