The construction of PV solar cells uses a number of critical elements. One is indium, an ingredient of the transparent conducting coating on the surface of the cell. The average material intensity for indium in solar cells is approximately 0.05 kg/kWnom. Calculate the quantity of indium that would be required for a project that would provide PV solar power with capacity factor of 0.25, sufficient to meet one third of the present needs of the US, population 301 million, each using an average of 10.2 kW. The current world production of Indium is 600 tonnes per year. If the solar project were to be implemented over a 5 year time span, is it true that the supply of indium be adequate? True False

Large radio telescopes, like the one in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, can detect extremely weak signals. Suppose one radio telescope is sensitive enough to detect a signal which lays down only 1.2 pW of power on an area of 6.0 x 1014 m2. (a) What would be the total power that would be received by the antenna, assuming that its diameter is 370 m? (b) What would be the power of a source at 17000 ly distance from Earth that could provide such a signal? A light-year is the distance light travels in one year. (a) Number Units W (b) Number Units W
Some types of bacteria containchains of ferromagnetic particles parallel to their long axis. The chainsact like small bar magnets that align these magnetotactic bacteria withthe earth’s magnetic field. In one experiment to study the response ofsuch bacteria to magnetic fields, a solenoid is constructed with copperwire 1.0 mm in diameter, evenly wound in a single layer to form a helicalcoil of length 40 cm and diameter 12 cm. The wire has a very thinlayer of insulation, and the coil is wound so that adjacent turns are justtouching. The solenoid, which generates a magnetic field, is in an enclosurethat shields it from other magnetic fields. A sample of magnetotacticbacteria is placed inside the solenoid. The torque on an individualbacterium in the solenoid’s magnetic field is proportional to the magnitudeof the magnetic field and to the sine of the angle between the longaxis of the bacterium and the magnetic-field direction What current is needed in the wire so that the magnetic field…
The amount of radiation received per unit time by a person working near a radioactive source, commonly called the dose rate, is measured in rem hr-1. The safety regulations forbid dose rates in excess of 7.5 × 10-4 rem hr-1. The γ dose rate from the 4219K source is found to be 3 × 10-3 rem hr-1 at a distance of 1 m. What is the minimum distance from this source at which itis safe to work? After how long will it be safe to work at a distance of 1 m from the source?
