The next four questions use this description.
Our Sun has a peak emission wavelength of about 500 nm and a radius of about 700,000 km. Your dark-adapted eye has a pupil diameter of about 7 mm and can detect light intensity down to about 1.5 x 10-11 W/m2. Assume the emissivity of the Sun is equal to 1.
First, given these numbers, what is the surface temperature of the Sun in Kelvin to 3 significant digits?
What is the power output of the Sun in moles of watts? (in other words, take the number of watts and divide it by Avogadro's number)
Assuming that all of the Sun's power is given off as 500 nm photons*, how many photons are given off by the Sun every second? Report your answer to the nearest power of 10 (e.g. if you got 7 x 1024, give your answer as 25).
An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1 x10 N/m² at 20 °C. How many
atoms are there in a cubic centimeter at this pressure and temperature? The Boltzman's constant
-23
k =1.38 X 10 m²kg/s²K)
Number of atoms: 1,8x1042
No, that's not the correct answer.
The gauge pressure in your car tires is 2.5×105 N/m² at a
temperature of 35°C when you drive it onto a ferry boat to
Alaska. What is their gauge pressure later, when their
temperature has dropped to -40.0°C?
HINT: Remember to convert temperatures to Kelvin first, and
gauge pressure to absolute pressure (just add 1 atm = 1x10^5
N/m2). After that you can use the ideal gas law, but the result will
be as an absolute pressure, so subtract back 1 atm before
entering the result as a gauge pressure.
Give your answer in units of [atm = 10^5 N/m2]
