Einstein’s relations:

      (2.44)equation

      (2.45)equation

      where n is the index of refraction of the medium.

      Let us now consider a medium that is not necessarily in thermal equilibrium and where the two energy levels i and j are such that Ei < Ej. Ni and Nj are the population in the two levels, respectively. The number of downward transitions from level j to level i is (Aji + Bjiν)Nj. The number of upward transitions is BijνNi = BjiνNi. The incident wave would then lose (NiNj) Bijν quanta per second. The spontaneously emitted quanta will appear as scattered radiation which does not add coherently to the incident wave.

      The wave absorption is a result of the fact that usually Ni > Nj. If this inequality can be reversed, the wave would be amplified. This requires that the population in the higher level is larger than the population in the lower energy level. This population inversion is the basis behind laser and maser operations. However, it is not usually encountered in the cases of natural matter/waves interactions which form the topic of this text. (Note: Natural maser effects have been observed in astronomical objects; however, these are beyond the scope of this text.)

      The transition between different levels in usually characterized by the lifetime τ. The lifetime of an excited state i is equal to the time period after which the number of excited atoms in this state have been reduced by a factor e−1. If the rate of transition out of the state i is Ai, the corresponding lifetime can be derived from the following relations:

      (2.46)equation

      (2.47)equation

      (2.48)equation

      (2.49)equation

      (2.50)equation

      In the ultraviolet region (photon energy between 3 and 40 eV), the interactions call into play electronic excitation and transfer mechanisms, with their associated spectral bands. This spectral region is used mostly for remote sensing of the composition of the upper layers of the Earth and planetary atmospheres. An ultraviolet spectrometer was flown on Voyager spacecraft to determine the composition and structure of the upper atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus.

      In the visible and near infrared (energy between 0.2 and 3 eV), vibrational and electronic energy transitions play the key role. In the case of gases, these interactions usually occur at well‐defined spectral lines, which are broadened due to the gas pressure and temperature. In the case of solids, the closeness of the atoms in the crystalline structure leads to a wide variety of energy transfer phenomena with broad interaction bands. These include molecular vibration, ionic vibration, crystal field effects, charge transfer, and electronic conduction. Some of the most important solid surface spectral features in this wavelength region include the following: (1) the steep fall‐off of reflectance in the visible toward the ultraviolet and an absorption band between 0.84 and 0.92 μm associated with the Fe3+ electronic transition. These features are characteristic of iron oxides and hydrous iron oxides, collectively referred to as limonite. (2) The sharp variation of chlorophyll reflectivity in the neighborhood of 0.75 μm, which has been extensively used in vegetation remote sensing. (3) The fundamental and overtone bending/stretching vibration of hydroxyl (OH) bearing materials in the 2.1–2.8 μm region, which are being used to identify clay‐rich areas associated with hydrothermal alteration zones.

      In the thermal infrared, the emissions from the Earth’s and other planets’ surfaces and atmospheres are strongly dependent on the local temperature, and the resulting radiation is governed by Planck’s law. This spectral region provides information about the temperature and heat constant of the object under observation. In addition, a number of vibrational bands provide diagnostic information about the emitting object constituents.

Graph depicts correspondence of spectral bands and photon energy and range of different wave–matter interaction mechanisms of importance in remote sensing. The photon energy in electron volts is given by E(eV) = 1.24/lambda , where lambda is in micrometer.

      The interaction mechanisms in the lower frequency end of the spectrum (ν < 20 GHz, λ > 1.5 cm) do not correspond to energy bands of specific constituents. They are rather collective interactions which result from electronic conduction and nonresonant magnetic and electric multipolar effects. As a wave interacts with a simple molecule, the resulting displacement of the electrons results in the formation of an oscillating dipole which generates an electromagnetic field. This will result in a composite field moving at a lower speed than the speed of light in a vacuum. The effect of the medium is described by the index of refraction or the dielectric constant. In general, depending on the structure and composition of the medium, the dielectric constant could be anisotropic or could have a loss term which is a result of wave energy transformation into heat energy.
