- As an amateur astronomer, you are studying the apparent brightness of stars. You know that a star’s apparent brightness depends on its distance from the earth and also on the fraction of its radiated energy that is in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. But, as a first step, you search the Internet for information on the surface temperatures and radii of some selected stars so that you can calculate their total radiated power. You find the data given in the table. The radius is given in units of the radius of the sun, Rsun = 6.96 * 108 m. The surface temperature is the effective temperature that gives the measured photon luminosity of the star if the star is assumed to radiate as an ideal blackbody. The photon luminosity is the power emitted in the form of photons. (a) Which star in the table has the greatest radiated power? (b) For which of these stars, if any, is the peak wavelength lm in the visible range (380–750 nm)?

- College Physics Questionarrow_forwardYour roommate is having trouble understanding why solids form. He asks, Why would atoms bond into solids rather than just floating freely with respect to each other? To help him understand at least one type of bonding in solids, you decide to embark on an energy explanation. You show him a drawing of a primitive cell of a sodium chloride crystal, NaCl, or simple table salt. The drawing is shown in Figure P24.10, where the orange spheres are Na+ ions and the blue spheres are Cl ions. Each ion has a charge of magnitude equal to the elementary charge e. The ions lie on the comers of a cube of side d. You explain to your roommate that the electrical potential energy is defined as zero when all eight charges are infinitely far apart from each other. Then you bring them together to form the crystal structure shown. (a) Evaluate the electric potential energy of the crystal as shown and (b) show that it is energetically favorable for such crystals to form. Figure P24.10arrow_forward7.

- A 19 century lab technician is testing possible metals for bulb filaments. A tantalum filament with a surface area of 0.370 mm and an emissivity of 0.976 radiates 0.80 W of light. Determine the filament's temperature (in K). The melting point for tantalum is 3269 K.arrow_forwardWhy is metal a better conductor of heat than non-metals? In metals, apart from transferring heat energy by the relatively slow process of molecular collision, another faster process of free electron diffusion takes place. Metals contain free electrons that are mobile. When heated, these free electrons gains KE and will diffuse to the cooler end at high speeds. In the process, they will collide with atoms at the cooler end and transfer kinetic energy to them.arrow_forwardIs there any difference between 10 degree C and 10 C degree?arrow_forward
