Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the glass dome in the pyranometer?

  • To shield the thermopile sensor from convection
  • To limit the spectral response of the detector
  • To provide a 180° field of view
  • To protect the detector from dirt and precipitation (correct)

    • What is the purpose of the quartz diffuser in the pyranometer?

  • To shield the thermopile sensor from convection
  • To prevent excessive body temperature increase
  • To limit the spectral response of the detector
  • To provide a 180° field of view and cosine response (correct)

    • What is the spectral response range of the pyranometer?

  • 500 to 3,500 nanometers
  • 400 to 3,000 nanometers
  • 300 to 2,800 nanometers (correct)
