Light and Solar Energy Phenomena

This lecture covers topics such as sound propagation, building physics, solar energy laboratory, geometric acoustics, statistical radiation, color perception, and colorimetry. It explores the properties of sound waves, undulatory phenomena, and the superposition of waves. Additionally, it delves into light propagation, optical selective solar absorber coatings, and the efficiency of photovoltaic power. The instructor discusses the use of echo in acoustics, the luminous properties of surfaces, and the orientation-dependent light properties. Furthermore, the lecture addresses the concept of point sources in energy intensity, the characteristics of an oven, and the energy flow resolution. The presentation also includes practical examples using a radiometer and the Lambert's cosine law.
