The sun emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves at a rate of 3.9 × 1026 W. This energy is produced by nuclear
reactions deep in the sun's interior.
Find the intensity of electromagnetic radiation at the surface of the sun (radius r = R = 6.96 x 105 km). Ignore any scattering of the waves as they move radially outward from the center of the sun.
Express your answer in watts per meter squared.
