It is not a logical fallacy to claim a source is unreliable, biased, or badly written.

In the case of this particular article, it is badly written and biased.

You might try reading a good book on physics, or even searching for a better understanding of where Planck's law comes from and why.

The point I made was Planks law applies to Black-bodies and not non-black-bodies. no reputable source will tell you otherwise no matter how non-biased and well written.

Exactly. The differential of Planck's function with respect to wavelength has only one turning point - corresponding to the wavelength of maximum intensity given by Wien's law.

Heat energy and kinetic energy are two completely different forms of energy.

The internal energy of a gas is made up of both the kinetic energy of the moving molecules and their quantised internal energy. Energy is constantly exchanged between kinetic energy and internal states through collisions.

As a gas is heated, the molecules move around faster and more of them are in excited states. Those that are in excited states may fall to a lower state with the emission of a photon; likewise, those in lower states of excitation may absorb a photon to move to a high state.

Different gases have different energy levels and therefore emit and absorb photons of different energies. Greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and H2O, can emit and absorb IR radiation; other gases, such as O2 and N2, have no corresponding energy level differences and therefore cannot emit or absorb IR radiation.

No, you idiot! You don't understand what domain is! YOU MATHEMATICALLY ILLITERATE BRITISH IDIOT! WHY WOULD YOU EXPECT A FUNCTION TO APPLY OUTSIDE OF ITS DOMAIN?!

On the serious side, S-B only works on black bodies - even if gases followed Planck's Law modified by cutting out wavelengths that the molecules cannot radiate, you still wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Also, explain the physical phenomenon for molecules radiating at a wavelength that does not correspond to the energy released when the molecule drops from one quantum state to another. If you GET GUD at science, you'll figure out that solids can do something that gases can't - that's why they follow Planck's Law more closely.

I'm curious. We can certainly see liquid nitrogen. That means N2 does absorb and reflect visible light. I don't get why some people think double atom molecules don't absorb or reflect light.

No, no, no! O2 does absorb light! Just not visible or IR light. You know UV rays? Ozone isn't the only absorber of UV light - O2 can also absorb ultraviolet light!

There are some wavelengths that O2 cannot absorb. It just will not absorb any of it - in its gaseous form! In its liquid or solid form, there is a particular phenomenon that occurs which allows multiple molecules to emit or absorb light at the same time, and with the same photon, IIRC. Gases can't do that (although very high-pressure gas or plasma might be able to do so).

Experimental verification: look at the sky. Does the oxygen obscure your vision, or can you see the Sun pretty clearly?

For ****'s sake, I understand what a domain is! It's the set of meaningful inputs for a function. The domain of y=x^2 is all real numbers. The domain of y=sqrt(x) is all non-negative real numbers.

If you say that H2 can't emit radiation at 30 nm, so we don't consider this to be part of the domain of Planck's Law, then you are "cutting out" parts of the graph - but this would not affect the number of local maxima. If we define a local maximum to be either the standard definition (if the modified Planck function is continuous at that point) or when the next values in the domain to the negative and positive side both produce an output strictly less than the output of the considered point, then we can show that a function with one and only one local maximum within the open interval considered will continue to have at most one local maximum if we remove parts of that interval from consideration.

The graph that I posted has is continuous in the considered interval, and has multiple local maxima. This cannot be produced from a Planck spectrum by simply altering the domain.

Ah, my mistake. Yes, O2 does, of course, emit radiation according to Planck's law and therefore must also absorb all the light that falls on it. That's why we can't see through it.


Like every other substance, O2 absorbs and emits light according to Planck's law.

Yes, that'll be why the atmosphere is opaque and we can't see anything.

God you are dumb.

A black-body is literally black, however the air made of the gasses we have been arguing about, those gasses are of course transparent.

Ergo the fact I can see at all proves your brand of pataphyisics which you base your objection to the greenhouse effect on idiotic,

How the **** do you manage to turn your computer on?

That's an awfully bright black body up there in the sky shining down on us.

I have to use goggles to limit the brightness of a black body when I'm welding on it.

No, spot. A black body is not black. What you probably meant to say is that a black body has reflectivity and transmissivity equal to 0. Black bodies glow, and are thus not black.

It would glow when heated, at air temperature it would be black. the radiation it emits would be to low frequency to see it would however radiate infra-red.

Its not an ideal black body. Even if it were its a bit hotter then the atmosphere.
