A satellite in Earth orbit maintains a panel of solar cells of area 4.59 m2 perpendicular to the direction of the Sun's light rays. The intensity of the light at the panel is 1.57 kW/m2. (a) At what rate does solar energy arrive at the panel? (b) At what rate are solar photons absorbed by the panel? Assume that the solar radiation is monochromatic, with a wavelength of 550 nm, and that all the solar radiation striking the panel is absorbed. (c) How long would it take for a "mole of photons" to be absorbed by the panel?

Radiation from the Sun reaching Earth (just outside the atmosphere) has an intensity of 1.38 kW/m2. (a) Assuming that Earth (and its atmosphere) behaves like a flat disk perpendicular to the Sun's rays and that all the incident energy is absorbed, calculate the force on Earth due to radiation pressure. (b) For comparison, calculate the force due to the Sun's gravitational attraction. Assume that the speed of light and Earth radius are 2.998 × 108 m/s and 6.37 thousand km...

A communications satellite orbiting the earth has solar panels that completely absorb all sunlight incident upon them. The total area A of the panels is 10m2. 1) The intensity of the sun's radiation incident upon the earth is about I=1.4kW/m2. Suppose this is the value for the intensity of sunlight incident upon the satellite's solar panels. What is the total solar power P absorbed by the panels? Express your answer numerically in kilowatts to two significant figures. 2) What is...

The intensity of solar radiation that falls on a detector on Earth is 1.00 kW/m2. The detector is a square that measures 6.11 m on a side and the normal to its surface makes an angle of 30.0° with respect to the Sun's radiation. How long will it take for the detector to measure 447 kJ of energy? S

The intensity of solar radiation in space near the Earth is 1.4 kW/m2. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) orbits Mars, which is 1.5 times further from the Sun than the Earth. What force is exerted by solar radiation impinging normally on a 5.0 m2 perfectly reflecting solar panel on the MRO? A) 23 μN B) 10 μN C) 14 μN D) 21 μN E) 47 μN

The Intensity of solar radiation at the Earth's orbit is 1370 W/m2. However, because of the atmosphere, the curvature of the Earth, and rotation (night and day), the actual intensity at the Earth's surface is much lower. At this moment, let us assume the intensity of solar radiation is 350 W/m2. You have installed solar panels on your roof to convert the sunlight to electricity. If the area of your solar panels is 3 m2, How much power is incident...
