Backradiation is based on particles, and one way to get rid of backradiation (as being unphysical) is to get rid of particles (as being unphysical).Claes Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411413338950388898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500584444083499721.post-22982936365832194052010-09-15T22:53:36.989+02:002010-09-15T22:53:36.989+02:00Claes,

The only thing one has to realize is that heat transfer by radiation is not qualitatively different from heat conduction and that is more or less the end of the story. <br /><br />In the greenhouse business the radiative heat transfer acts as a heat pump counteracted by convection. Conduction would also counteract the greenhouse effect if it hadn't been neglected. But if heat radiation is essentially like heat conduction then the heat radiation would counteract the greenhouse effect, which is based on heat radiation and there we have the problem in a nutshell. The discussion about photons/waves is interesting in its own right but not really relevant here. <br /><br />Moreover, we have to distinguish between heat transfer and energy transfer. If I through a ball up in the air i transfer energy to it. But I do not heat it.Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15294862989593516422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500584444083499721.post-26139937303709288082010-09-15T19:06:52.823+02:002010-09-15T19:06:52.823+02:00Yes, they do, just like the beads of a vibrating s...Yes, they do, just like the beads of a vibrating string of beads.Claes Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411413338950388898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500584444083499721.post-20117056264557665282010-09-15T18:54:09.506+02:002010-09-15T18:54:09.506+02:00dont the air molecules move (i.e. show a sort of o...dont the air molecules move (i.e. show a sort of oscillatory behavior about a mean position without a 'net motion') when sound waves travel through air?batthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557078682599233444noreply@blogger.com
