Name the instrument that is used by meteorologist to measure the solar radiation from the region of the hemisphere of incidence on a flat surface?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Pyranometer
The instrument used by meteorologists to measure the solar radiation from the region of the hemisphere of incidence on a flat surface is called a pyranometer.
A pyranometer is designed to measure global solar irradiance, which includes both direct sunlight and diffuse sunlight (scattered by the atmosphere). It typically consists of a thermopile sensor under a glass dome, which absorbs solar radiation and converts it into an electrical signal proportional to the radiation intensity, measured in watts per square meter (W/m²).
