AI Thread Summary

To determine the surface absorptance of a material without knowing its radiant emittance, one can illuminate the surface using a square wave modulated or pulsed light source. The reflected energy should be detected as an AC signal, allowing for analysis of the surface's response. The DC output measured will correspond to the emittance of the material. This method enables the calculation of absorptance by isolating the effects of emittance. Accurate measurements can lead to a better understanding of material properties in thermal applications.

TL;DR Summary: surface absorption

how can I go about finding the surface absorptance of a material if I'm not given the radiant emittance of the non- black body?

Illuminate the surface with a square wave modulated or a pulsed source.
Then synchronously detect the reflected energy as an AC signal.
The DC output will be due to emittance of the body.

Thread 'Linear generator prototype'

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Need help on understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
