Oh FFS, IBdaMann doesn't even recognise what a Planck blackbody curve looks like on a graph yet he claims to understand Plancks law well. Then he completely dismisses out of hand the source you provided from the American Chemical Society website explaining comprehensively how Planck's law applies to the atmosphere. Maybe he thinks the ACS and it's more than 158,000 professional members working in chemical science fields are all Marxists pushing an evil agenda to take over the world! |

No, the dashed lines are not "graph indicators" (whatever that is supposed to mean); they are ideal blackbody emission spectra for different temperatures. For your graph to illustrate that earth does not adhere to Planck's Radiation Law, i.e. That's exactly what the graph does show! Take, for example, a blackbody at a temperature of 280 K. For the wavenumber 700 cm-1, plugging the numbers into the Planck formula gives a radiance of 115 mW.m-2.sr-1.(cm-1)-1. You can see this from the graph: look at the dashed curve labelled 280 K and you'll see that it indicates about 115 mW.m-2.sr-1.(cm-1)-1 for a wavenumber of 700 cm-1. Look at the solid line, though, and you'll see that the radiance of the Earth's atmosphere at 700 cm-1 is only about 50 mW.m-2.sr-1.(cm-1)-1 (corresponding to a blackbody temperature of about 220 K). The fact that the solid line doesn't follow a curve corresponding to a blackbody radiator of any particular temperature indicates that the atmosphere doesn't radiate in accordance with Planck's Law. |

Surface Detail wrote: No, the dashed lines are not "graph indicators" (whatever that is supposed to mean); The short answer is that you are right to be confused by the indicators, i.e. the "dashed lines." Remove them. The solid line of the curve shows a particular measure of strength (rate of emission) across differing wavelengths. That's all that matters. The total energy adds up, yes? Wait, there's no way to verify that from the chart because the charts don't sum the energy. I'll assume they add up. Surface Detail wrote: That's exactly what the graph does show! The graph doesn't show a single one. You have successfully shown that the earth is not an ideal black body. That was already assumed. Planck's Radiation Law is a relationship that applies to all matter. It is not the case that the generalization of that relationship for a particular theoretical "ideal" black body makes it apply only to theoretical bodies that don't exist. All matter radiates and the radiation will be determined by temperature, with Planck's Law being that relationship. Surface Detail wrote: Take, for example, a blackbody at a temperature of 280 K.

Opacity is one of the conditions for a blackbody specified by the man himself: The theory of heat radiation, Dr. Max Planck, page 10. Second, the black body must have a certain minimum thickness depending on its absorbing power, in order to insure that the rays after passing into the body shall not be able to leave it again at a different point of the surface. The more absorbing a body is, the smaller the value of this minimum thickness, while in the case of bodies with vanishingly small absorbing power only a layer of infinite thickness may be regarded as black. |

Planck's Law is an approximation. From Planck's The theory of heat radiation: According to the law stated in Sec. 45, the intensity of a pencil, when a state of stable heat radiation exists in a diathermanous medium, is equal to the emissive power E of a black body in contact with the medium. On this fact is based the possibility of measuring the emissive power of a black body, although absolutely black bodies do not exist in nature. Surface Detail wrote: A single, isolated molecule cannot radiate or absorb in accordance with Planck's Law because of the limited set of quantum vibrational states available to it. It can only absorb or radiate at discrete wavelengths. It's about both. Planck showed that all materials must emit and absorb radiation of a particular wavelength to the same degree in order to comply with the laws of thermodynamics. Second, this is another point of disagreement between us. I think all matter, even a single molecule, radiates per Planck's Law. That is simply wrong. Planck's Law applies to macroscopic objjects, not individual particles. It arises as a consequence of the interactions of the particles rather than being a property of the particles themselves. |

Surface Detail wrote: Hence the Earth's atmosphere doesn't radiate in accordnace with Planck's Law. You're having a small problem following your own logic. Your conclusion is only valid under the assumption that Planck's Radiation Law only applies to ideal black bodies. Your conclusion is only valid under the assumption that Planck's Law applies to nothing in nature because there exist no ideal black bodies in nature. Ergo, you will say the same thing about all such graphs and all such measurements in nature because all will deviate from that of an ideal black body. The example you have provided of the earth is just one example of the universal set of all radiation measurements to which you claim Planck's Law does not apply. Once you have denied Planck's Law, the ground is set for you to believe "greenhouse effect." QED. I, on the other hand, do not deny Planck's Law. I perceive it as applying to all electromagnetic radiation of matter. I cannot accept your "greenhouse effect" on those grounds. Surface Detail wrote: Indeed. Planck's Law holds only for blackbody radiators. The derivation of Planck's Law assumes a body that is a perfect radiator and absorber at all wavelengths. Right here lies your confusion, i.e. you equate the derivation of the relationship with the applicability of the relationship. Laplace transforms are similarly based on a theoretical concept that does not exist, but Laplace transforms can nonetheless be used in real world engineering to build things. Surface Detail wrote: It's about both. Planck showed that all materials must emit and absorb radiation of a particular wavelength to the same degree in order to comply with the laws of thermodynamics. It is a common understanding that differing substances have differing absorption signatures. Nonetheless Planck's Radiation Law applies to radiation, not absorption. Substances absorb per their absorption signature and emit per Planck's Law. Surface Detail wrote: That is simply wrong. I am well aware that you believe so, and thus you believe in "greenhouse effect." Surface Detail wrote: Planck's Law applies to macroscopic objjects, not individual particles. Planck's Law applies to "bodies" (matter), be they molecules, planets, etc.. Surface Detail wrote: It arises as a consequence of the interactions of the particles rather than being a property of the particles themselves. No. Planck's Law is simply the relationship in nature of how matter radiates. A single molecule will radiate as long as it is not at absolute zero. As the temperature of that molecule increases, the rate of emission will increase as will the frequency. Would you care to make a wager on the equation one can use to predict how the rate of emission and frequency will change per an increase in temperature? . I don't think i can [define it].

Sorry, but it's clear that you don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about. Temperature is a collective property, so it doesn't really make sense to talk about the temperature of a single molecule, especially a small one like CO2 with just a few modes of vibration. Quantum mechanics dictates that an isolated molecule can only emit or absorb radiation at wavelengths corresponding to the transitions between its vibrational (IR) or rotational (radio) states. The emission spectrum of an isolated molecule (or sufficiently dilute gas) is therefore a series of peaks at these wavelengths, and most definitely not a Planckian distribution!

Into the Night wrote: IBdaMann wrote:First, Planck's Radiation Law is about radiation, not about absorption. What they don't appear to comprehend, (despite you trying to explain several times to them) is that they are both contradicting Max Planck: http://www.gutenberg.us/articles/blackbody_radiation http://www.gutenberg.us/articles/Planck%27s_law When IB didn't even recognise what the blackbody temperature curves in the graph you posted were, and told you to 'remove them', it was hilarious. As was ITN asserting that "Spectra has nothing to do with black body radiation". Typical of autodidacts who pick up bits of information here and there but never study a subject fully in an environment where their mistakes and misunderstandings would get picked up, and the huge gaps in their knowledge would get filled. They never seem to realise just how incompetent they are because there was no-one to correct them when they go wrong. Combine that with ideological/religiously induced stupidity, extreme confirmation bias, and sheer arrogance and you get people like IB and ITN who seriously believe they are 'experts' and will not listen to anyone trying to show them where they are going wrong. They'll never go read that source from ACS you provided (which would clearly show them where they are going wrong), because they already believe they 'know it all!' All they would need to do would be to search for Planck's Law and blackbody radiation from an authoritative source which explains it in the context of Max Planck's original work. Instead they are convinced that characteristics that only apply to a theoretical blackbody in equilibrium that is a perfect absorber and emitter of EM (not found in nature) applies to 'everything, all the time' From wrong assumptions, they leap to the wrong conclusions that the temperature of the atmosphere (which is NOT a perfect blackbody and NOT a perfect absorber and emitter of EM radiation) has nothing to do with it's composition. Because they believe they are right, they are incapable of seeing it when you show them that graph which shows they are wrong. They just go straight back to their baseless assertions and pseudoscience waffle and tell you you're wrong without really being able to explain it coherently. And of course, they can never provide any support from authoritative sources, but will completely dismiss yours. Over and over and over and over again ad nauseum until they wear you down with the same nonsense they have been repeating for years, and you give up in exasperation. Then of course they claim 'victory' because you couldn't be bothered wasting your time any more That's why I've found it's a complete waste of time trying to explain anything to people who reject science like the 'greenhouse' effect, evolution, age of the earth etc especially if it's because of their deeply held ideological/religious beliefs. Oh.... and they also didn't have a clue what the graphs I posted showed or signified. They would be self-explanatory to most people who have even fairly basic knowledge about this subject.

Planck's Law is a mathematical equation which describes a theoretical black-body - a body that is perfect absorber and emitter of EM radiation at thermal equilibrium. That's why the EM frequency spectrum for a theoretical black-body only depends on the black-body's temperature and not on it's substance. For a theoretical black-body only! Not for any other body. It's just a reference point (the smooth black-body temperature curves on those graphs that IB thinks are irrelevant and should be 'removed' ). It makes no sense at all to say it's a law that 'applies to everything all the time'. Black-body radiation does not physically exist in nature. Like 0 Kelvin is used as a reference point, but there is nothing in nature that is 0 K. Edited on 12-01-2016 23:25 |
