A certain star is 15.6 million light-years from Earth. The intensity of the light that reaches Earth from the star is 2.90 × 10−21 W/m2. At what rate does the star radiate EM energy?
A large container which has 258 g of water initially at 23 °C is placed in a microwave oven. The magnetron in the microwave oven can produce 950 W of EM radiation. The microwave is turned on for 2.5 minutes.
Assuming that all the microwave energy is absorbed by the water, how much water is left in the container?
2. The OXO 8716900 electric kettle (1500 W) manufacturer’s claim that it can boil up to 1.75 L of water faster than the microwave, safer than the stovetop, and runs off a mains voltage of 120 V. Compare the efficiency of the two approaches.
3.Name the different ways of heat loss in these systems (Microwave & Kettle) during the heating process.
Around the core of a nuclear reactor shielded by a large pool of water, Cerenkov radiation appears as a blue glow (see figure below). Cerenkov radiation occurs when a particle travels faster through a
medium than the speed of light in that medium. It is the electromagnetic equivalent of a bow wave or a sonic boom. An electron is traveling through water at a speed 7.2% faster than the speed of
light in water.
