A satellite in Earth orbit maintains a panel of solar cells of area 2.60 m2 perpendicular to the direction of the Sun’s light rays. The intensity of the light at the panel is 1.39 kW/m2. (a) At what rate does solar energy arrive at the panel? (b) At what rate are solar photons absorbed by the panel? Assume that the solar radiation is monochromatic, with a wavelength of 550 nm, and that all the solar radiation striking the panel is absorbed. (c) How long would it take for a “mole of photons” to be absorbed by the panel?
Roughly what frequency and what kind of light would you need to be able to
separate an electron from a proton?
Of = 1018 H z, x ray
f = 1014 H z, visible light
Of = 102° H z, y ray
O f = 10° H z, microwave
A hydrogen atom on the surface of the sun radiates a photon with wavelength 1800 nm.
The sun has a radius, Tsun = 6.96 × 108 m, and a mass, Msun = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg.
(a) Calculate the change in wavelength when the photon is observed a long way -
effectively at an infinite distance from the sun (or any other massive object).
(b) How fast and in what direction would the observer have to move in order to cancel
this change in wavelength?
