suppose a gas that absorbs solar radiation has a uniform mixing ratio of 1g kg^-1 and an absorption cross section of 5m^2kg^-1. At what altitude will the maximum rate of energy absorption per unit volume occur? Assume an isothermal atmosphere with T=260k, and a surface pressure of 1.025 x 10^5Pa and that the sun is directly overhead.
