I need a problem out of "Atmospheric Science: An Introductory Survey" by Wallace and Hobbs (2nd ed.)

If you have the book, can you tell me what exercise 4.12 is?

I don't have the new version, but if you're going to be a meteorologist, that book is one everyone should own. PM if you need help with the problem.

I'm getting it tomorrow - it is the required text for my class this semester.

Funny story actually... I've been using the wrong book and I didn't know it. The diagrams are the same, the subjects of the chapters are the same, and the title is only one word off. Best I can figure is: when I bought my books they wouldn't let you pick your own out - you just handed your schedule to the guy at the register and he brought you a stack of books back. He picked up the wrong book and I only figured it out when I went to do our first homework tonight and there was no "exercise 4.12"

^ Who's the author of the other book. Wallace and Hobbes is a standard for every meteorology program in the nation.

Ex 4.12:

Quote :

"Remote sensing in the microwave part of the spectrum relies on radiation emitted by oxygen molecules at frequencies near 55 GHz. Calculate the wavelength and wave number of this radiation."

Shouldn't take more than a few seconds to figure that one out... I guess nearly 4 hours later than when you asked might not do you any good, but there it is anyway.
