Imagine an isothermal, completely gas-based atmosphere with an absorption coefficient of 0.03 m^2kg^-1 across all wavelengths.  A)Find the height at which the maximum rate of absorption of a radiation beam oriented at a 30 angle from the zenith occurs. Assume that the scale height is H = 10 km and that the surface pressure is 100 × 10^3 Pa. B) Compute the height above which 80% of the incoming radiation is absorbed
