Two plates, one with a black painted surface and the other with a special coating (chemically oxidized
Question:
Two plates, one with a black painted surface and the other with a special coating (chemically oxidized copper) are in earth orbit and are exposed to solar radiation. The solar rays make an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the normal to the plate. Estimate the equilibrium temperature of each plate assuming they are diffuse and that the solar flux is \(1368 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\). The spectral absorptivity of the black painted surface can be approximated by \(\alpha_{\lambda}=0.95\) for \(0 \leq \lambda \leq \infty\) and that of the special coating by \(\alpha_{\lambda}=0.95\) for \(0 \leq \lambda<3 \mu \mathrm{m}\) and \(\alpha_{\lambda}=0.05\) for \(\lambda \geq 3 \mu \mathrm{m}\).
