4. Find the peak wavelength of the blackbody radiation emitted by (a) The Sun (2000 K) (b) The tungsten of a light bulb at 5800 K (c) Find their intensities (radiated power per unit area)
The surface temperature of the sun is about 5800 K. The radii of the earth and the sun are 6.40x106 m and 6.95x108 m, respectively. The earth is 1.49x1011 m from the sun. Calculate the blackbody temperature of the earth assuming the earth is in steady state with the power absorbed versus power emitted.
The human body has a surface area of approximately 1.8 m^2, a surface temperature of approximately 30 degrees celsius , and a typical emissivity at infrared wavelengths of e = 0.97.If we make the approximation that all photons are emitted at the wavelength of peak intensity, how many photons per second does the body emit?
Our sun's 5800 K surface temperature gives a peak wavelength in the middle of the visible spectrum. 1. What is the minimum surface temperature for a star whose emission peaks at some wavelength less than 400 nm− that is, in the ultraviolet?
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...
Construct plots that show the wavelength-dependent energy spectrum of a blackbody at a temperature of 5800 K (approx. temperature of the Sun) using both the Planck distribution and the Raleigh-Jeans distribution. Confirm agreement between the two at long wavelength. a. What is the maximum emission wavelength at this temperature? b. What is the total power output (W/m^2) ? c. Using the Planck distribution, estimate what fraction of the Sun's total power output is emitted in visible wavelengths (400-750 nm)
The Sun shines with a blackbody temperature of 5780 K and a total power output of 3.8 x 1026 w. The Sun has been doing this for 4.5 x 10 yr, during which time the surface temperature has increased by a few percent and the luminosity by 20%, ie. they have remained roughly constant. (a) (5 marks) Use the heat-flow formula for entropy change to calculate the total entropy in all the sunlight the Sun has ever emitted. (b) (3...
