How does distance from the thermal energy source affect the amount of thermal energy transfer occurring in a substance
1 answer:
The distance from the thermal energy source affect the amount of thermal energy transfer occurring in a substance in a way that area that the radiation is spread over is four times as large for just the double distance.
Thermal energy that can transfer between substances always does so from one that is warmer to one that is cooler. Conduction, convention, and radiation are the three categories. Distance causes the heat radiation emitted by a source, such the sun, to disperse.
As it moves away from the source, the same quantity of energy is dispersed over a larger and larger sphere every second. For simply the twice distance, the radiation's distribution area is four times as large.
The solar constant (also known as the solar coefficient), abbreviated S, refers to the Sun's intensity on Earth, , in units. This information reveals how much radiation enters a square metre of Earth (or any other planet at a similar distance from the sun).

To determine the mass of an atom in terms of atomic mass unit (a.m.u.) the standard should have the fixed mass otherwise the calculated mass of the other atoms will get error. Initially oxygen was used as the reference standard for the calculation of other atoms mass. But after the invention of different isotopes of oxygen i.e. and
which ratios with respect to
is 1.002 the mass of standard oxygen became unstable. Thus the mass of the new atom have error. Thus in 1961 the standard reference is canged to carbon-12. After that onward the mass of the other atoms are measured with respect to carbon.
