Star A has twice the radius and twice the absolute temperature of star B. What is the ratio of the power output of star A to that of star B? The emissivity of both stars can be assumed to be 1. (a) 4 (b) 8 (c) 16 (d) 32 (e) 64
The radiant flux at Earth is 1365 W/m2. Say we move towards the sun to a radius that is 1/3 the radius of the Earth's orbit. By what factor would the radiant flux increase or decrease?
Hi there! Can you help em figure this problem. I keep gettign 707 watts and that is not correct. Seals may cool themselves by using thermal windows, patches on their bodies with much higher than average surface temperature. Suppose a seal has a 0.030 m2 thermal window at a temperature of 30∘C. If the seal's surroundings are a frosty -15 ∘C, what is the net rate of energy loss by radiation? Assume an emissivity equal to that of a human. Express the answer in watts. Thank you for the help! It is appreicated.
The Sun radiates like a perfect black body with an emissivity of exactly 1. (a) Calculate the surface temperature of the Sun, given that it is a sphere with a 7.00×10^8-m radius that radiates 3.80×10^26 W into 3-K space. (b) How much power does the Sun radiate per square meter of its surface? (c) How much power in watts per square meter is that value at the distance of Earth, 1.50×10^11 m away? (This number is called the solar constant.)
