A camper is trying to start a fire by focusing sunlight onto a piece of paper. The diameter of the sun is 1.39 × 109 m, and its mean distance from the earth is 1.50 × 1011 m. The camper is using a converging lens whose focal length is 13.6 cm. (a) What is the area of the sun's image on the paper? (b) If 0.361 W of sunlight pass through the lens, what is the intensity of the sunlight at the paper?
Given data,
Diameter of sun = 1.39 × 109 m
Diameter of earth = 1.50 × 1011 m
a)
We know that,
magnification = - di/do
= - (0.136) / (1.50 × 1011)
= - 9.06 * 10-13
image height = 9.06 * 10-13 x 1.39 × 109
= 1.26 * 10-3 m
The area of the sun's image on the paper = 3.14 * (1.26 * 10-3 )2
= 4.98 * 10-6 m2
b)
Intensity of the sunlight at the paper = 0.361 / (4.98 * 10-6 )
= 7.24 * 104 W/m2
