Sirius B is a white star that has a surface temperature (in kelvins) that is four times that of our sun. Sirius B radiates only 0.040 times the power radiated by the sun. Our sun has a radius of 6.96 108 m. Assuming that Sirius B has the same emissivity as the sun, find the radius of Sirius B. RsB =

The surface of the sun has a temperature of approximately 5800 K. To good approximation we can treat it as a blackbody. (a) What is the peak-intensity wavelength λm? (b) What is the total radiated power per unit area? (c) Find the power per unit area radiated from the surface of the sun in the wavelength range 600.0 to 605.0 nm.

The surface of the Sun has a temperature of 5500 ∘C. Treat the sun as a perfect blackbody with an emissivity of 1.0 and a radius of 7.0*10^8 m. Given; the temperature of space is 3.0K and the power that it takes for the sun to radiate into space is 3.9 * 10^26 W. The solar constant is the number of watts of sunlight power falling on a square meter of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Calculate the solar constant given...

The average temperature of the surface of the Earth is approximately 14◦C. What would the steady-state temperature of the Earth be if there were no greenhouse effect — i.e. if the emissivity of the earth was independent of wavelength? Give your answer in ◦C. Note that the radius of the Earth is 6.38 106 m, and the intensity of sunlight at the Earth’s location is 1366 W/m2. Hint, how much power from the sun would strike a plate with the...

Betelgeuse, a bright red star in the constellation Orion, has a luminosity that is 100,000 times that of the Sun However, the surface temperature of Betelgeuse is only 3000 K. Assuming that the emissivity of stars is 1, find the radius of Betelgeuse.

1. The "surface" of the Sun is not sharp boundaries like the surface of the Earth. Most of the radiation that the Sun emits is in thermal equilibrium with the hot gases that make up the Sun's outer layers. Without too much error, we can treat sunlight as blackbody radiation. The total power radiated by the Sun is 3.87×1026W. Given the radius of the Sun is 6.96×108m, what is the surface temperature of the Sun? Suppose the temperature of the...

Calculate the average power that the surface of Earth facing the Sun receives from the Sun. Assuming that the Earth is a blackbody and radiates the same amount of power that it absorbs from the Sun, calculate the average surface temperature of the Earth. Does your answer make sense compared to your experience? The Sun’s surface temperature is 5800 K, its radius is 6.96x108 m, the distance between Earth and the Sun is 1.5x1011 m, and the radius of the...

The brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere has a surface temperature of about 4300 K and it is 170 times more luminous than the Sun. Calculate the radius of the star in units of the radius of the solar radius (round the result to the nearest integer) In the calculation, you may assume that the Sun has a radius of 7E8 meters and a luminosity of 3.8E26 watts.
Sirius B is a white star that has a surface temperature (in kelvins) that is four times that of our sun. Sirius B radiates only 0.040 times the power radiated by the sun.
