What is The decimal form of a fraction is called?
It is called a decimal fraction.
What is a fraction with an equal value called?
It is called an equivalent fraction.
What is writing a fraction as an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator called?
It is called "writing a fraction as an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator"!
What is a singular fraction called?
A unit fraction.
What is a fraction written using a decimal point called?
It is called a [decimal] fraction.
What is the fraction if solar radiation that is reflect off a particular surface called?
There is no special name. The fraction of sunlight which is reflected will be different from the fraction of other light. The reflectivity of a surface varies with the wavelength of the incident light.
What is the fraction of the total radiation encountered that is reflected by a surface called?
albedo
What is the fraction of total radiation that is reflected by any surface called?
It is the reflectivity of the surface. However, it is important to note that the reflected fraction depends on the wavelength of the incident light.
What is the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected off a particular surface called?
There is no particular term. This is because the reflectivity of a surface varies across the electromagnetic spectrum so a surface which reflects a large proportion of blue wavelengths in sunlight may or may not reflect a similar proportion of red wavelengths.
What fraction of solar radiation reflected by a surface is called?
this question needs to be stated more precisely. The solar fraction is a measurement of usage of the solar thermal energy by the solar thermal system installed.
What is The interaction of light with a surface is called?
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
When dust particles and gases in the atmosphere reflect light in all directions this is a process called?
Omnidirectional Radiation. OR Scattering
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called?
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.
What is it called when the sun heats a metal surface?
study island answer: radiation
Which object or material reflects infrared rays?
All materials will reflect, absorb and transmit (allow to pass through) electromagnetic radiation. This is called the Transmit/Reflect (T/R) ratio and it will vary for a material based on the wavelength of the incident radiation. IR radiation does not transmit through most materials. It is absorbed/reflected. Metalized Mylar has a small transmit/reflect ratio.
What is a very smooth surface able to clearly reflect light to form a virtual image?
That surface would be called a "mirror".
