How much power is radiated from each panel? Assume that the panels are in the shade so that the absorbed radiation will be negligible. Assume that the emissivity of the panels is 1.0.
The filament in a light bulb has a diameter of 0.02 mm and an emissivity of 1.0.
The temperature of the filament is 3×1000°C. What should be the length of the
filament in meters so it will radiate 60 W of power? The Stefan-Boltzmann
constant is 5.670 × 10-8 W/m2 · K4. Please give your answer with 3 decimal
places.
