When the Sun becomes a red giant, it's luminosity will be 2000 times its current value. The solar flux at Earth will also increase by a factor of 2000. Neglecting the greenhouse effect, the surface temperature of the earth is determined by thermal equilibrium: the flux of radiation absorbed equals the flux of radiation emitted. This means the Earth's surface flux must also increase by a factor of 2000. If the current average surface temperature is 58 degrees F. what wil the average surface temperature be when the Sun is a red giant. [Hint: use the Stefan-Boltzman's law in the form of a ratio, and remember that the temperature there is in Kelvins.]

Whereas electron microscopes make use of thewave properties of electrons, ion microscopes make use of the wave propertiesof atomic ions, such as helium ions 1He+2, to image materials. A heliumion has a mass 7300 times that of an electron. In a typical helium-ionmicroscope, helium ions are accelerated by a high voltage of 10–50 kVand focused into a beam onto the sample to be imaged. At these energies,the ions don’t travel very far into the sample, so this type of microscopeis used primarily for the surface imaging of biological structures. The useof helium ions with much greater energies (in the MeV range) has beenproposed as a way to image the entire thickness of a sample, becausethese faster helium ions can pass all the way through biological samplessuch as cells. In this type of ion microscope, the energy lost as the ionbeam passes through different parts of a cell can be measured and relatedto the distribution of material in the cell, with thicker parts of the cellcausing greater…
3. If the source documentation says that the gamma-ray exposure rate at a distance of 102 cm is 25.8 µC/kg/h air kerma and we wish to calibrate the 0.11 mGy/h air kerma midpoint on the scale of an instrument that measures 0-25 mR/h air kerma, at what distance from the calibration source should the detector be placed?
You are shocked to learn that the Sun (which has a mass of 1M⊙) and Betelgeuse (with a mass of 11M⊙) have both become black holes overnight. Which black hole would have a larger event horizon and why? What do you experience if you fly your spaceship towards the Betelgeuse black hole? Describe any effects on you or the spaceship What would an observer on the other side of the galaxy see when looking at the black holes against the background of the rest of the stars in the Milky Way?
a. What does it mean when we say that a surface 'sees itself' in the context of radiative heat transfer? b. If heat transfer by conduction through a medium occurs under steady- state, will the temperature at a particular location vary with time? Will the temperature vary with location in the medium?
4. 51 Pegasi b was the first extra-solar planet found around a main sequence starother than our Sun. The star, 51 Pegasi, is very much like the Sun, and it has a luminosityL = 1.30L⊙. 51 Pegasi b has an average orbital radius of 0.0527 AU and it is tidally lockedto 51 Pegasi. Given that it thought to have a Bond albedo of 0.1, what is its “no greenhouse”temperature? Note- it is tidally locked, but you should assume the temperature of the planetis uniform due to winds transferring heat.
Attached is the question and the formula to solve it. I attached the formula directly from the book, the Blackbody radiation Pressure formula that is. Thank you :)
These images show one of the large `VLT’ telescopes at the European Southern Observatory’s facility at Cerro Paranal, Chile. The place where the laser beam comes out (seen in the inset photo) is just out of sight off of the top edge of the large photo. Also note that if you look down the telescope tube (in the main photo), you can see the tube’s front-end structure. Why is there a laser beam shooting out of the front of this telescope (in the inset picture)? Group of answer choices The beam creates an `artificial star’, which is used by an adaptive-optics system to measure (and counteract) the blurring effect of Earth’s atmosphere. The astronomers are bouncing light off of objects near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, to measure their distances from Earth. The astronomers are taking pictures of the surface of a planet (most likely Mars), and the laser allows them to light up the planet’s surface with a very specific color of light. The astronomers are engaged in the opening…

You have stated that the convective area is πr^2. Please explain this. πr^2 is the area for a circle, not a sphere. It should be 4πr^2 as this is equal to the surface area of the sphere as you have done correctly in the radiative area. A conv= 4πr^2*3*293-292 = 0.377 A rad = 4πr^2*0.2*5.67x10^-8*(292^4-291^4) = 0.144 I have tried to multiply the convective area by 4πr^2 instead of πr^2 but it is giving me an incorrect total heat transfer rate of 0.377+0.144 = 0.521 the correct answer is supposed to be 0.236
