The radiation per unit area from the Sun reaching the earth is 1400 W/m2 , approximately the amount of radiative power per unit

area reaching a sun bather on the banks of Barton Springs at noon on a clear day in June. The temperature of the Sun is 5800 K. Now suppose instead of the present Sun we received radiation from sun X at temperature 2864 K, located at the same position as our Sun. How much radiative power per unit area would reach the sun bather from the new sun X?

Answer:

83.2 W/m^2

Explanation:

The radiation per unit area of a star is directly proportional to the power emitted, which is given by Stefan-Boltzmann law:

P=\sigma A T^4

where

\sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant

A is the surface area

T is the surface temperature

So, we see that the radiation per unit area is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature:

I \propto T^4

So in our problem we can write:

I_1 : T_1^4 = I_2 : T_2^4

where

I_1 = 1400 W/m^2 is the power per unit area of the present sun

T_1 = 5800 K is the temperature of the sun

I_2 is the power per unit area of sun X

T_2 = 2864 K is the temperature of sun X

Solving for I2, we find

I_2 = \frac{I_1 T_2^4}{T_1^4}=\frac{(1400 W/m^2)(2864 K)^4}{(5800 K)^4}=83.2 W/m^2

Assume that the solar radiation incident on Earth is 1330 W/m2 (at the top of the atmosphere). Find the total power radiated by
Temka [501]

Answer:

The total power radiated by the sun is 3.71×10^26W

Explanation:

The Earth is spherical in shape

Therefore, Area = 4πr^2 = 4×3.143×(1.489×10^11)^2 = 2.79×10^23m^2

Power radiated by the Sun = solar radiation on Earth × Area = 1330W/m^2 × 2.79×10^23m^2 = 3.71×10^26W

Explain the process of <br>anomalous expansion of water​
Kay [80]

The anomalous expansion of water refers to the fact that water, unlike most substances, expands when it freezes. The density of water increases as temperature decreases but reaches a maximum at 4° C then begins to expand.

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%.
