The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. The distance between the

Earth and the Sun is 1.5 x 1011 m. a) Assuming it radiates uniformly in all directions what is the total power output of the Sun?b) If the frequency increases by 1 MHz what would be the relative (percentage) change in the power output? c) For frequency in b) what is the intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Mars? Note that Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth is.

Answer: (a) power output = 3.85×10²⁶W

(b). There is no relative change in power as it is independent from frequency

(c). 590 W/m²

Explanation:

given Radius between earth and sun to be = 1.50 × 10¹¹m

Intensity of the radiation from the sun measured on earth to be = 1360 W/m²

Frequency = 60 MHz

(a). surface area A of the sun on earth is = 4πR²

substituting value of R;

A = 4π(.50 × 10¹¹)² = 2.863 10²³×m²

A = 2.863 10²³×m²

now to get the power output of the sun we have;

<em>P </em>sun = <em>I </em><em>sun-earth </em><em>A </em><em>sun-earth</em>

where A = 2.863 10²³×m², and <em>I </em> is 1360 W/m²

<em>P </em>sun = 2.863 10²³ × 1360

<em>P </em>sun = 3.85×10²⁶W

(c). surface area A of the sun on mars is = 4πR²

now we substitute value of 2.28 ×10¹¹ for R sun-mars, we have

A sun-mars = 4π(2.28× 10¹¹)²

A sun-mars = 6.53 × 10²³m²

now to calculate the intensity of the sun;

<em>I </em><em>sun-mars = </em><em>P </em>sun / A sun-mars

where <em>P </em>sun = 3.85×10²⁶W and A sun-mars = 6.53 × 10²³m²

<em>I </em><em>sun-mars = </em>3.85×10²⁶W / 6.53 × 10²³m²

<em>I </em><em>sun-mars = </em>589.6 ≈ 590 W/m²

<em>I </em><em>sun-mars = </em>590 W/m²

You are working as a summer intern for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and are assigned to some initial work

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

1) Pressure acting on the plug = Patm + P

Pressure = Patm + rho*g*h (Here h = D2)

Pressure = 101325 + 1000*9.8*7

Pressure = 169925 Pa

so, Force = PA

Force = 169925*pi*0.0152

Force = 120.1 N

The star Rho1 Cancri is 57 light-years from the earth and has a mass 0.85 times that of our sun. A planet has been detected in a

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

82780.42123 m/s

14.45 days

Explanation:

m = Mass of the planet

M = Mass of the star = $0.85\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg=1.69065\times 10^{30}\ kg$

r = Radius of orbit of planet = $0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}\ m=16.456\times 10^{9}\ m$

v = Orbital speed

The kinetic and potential energy balance is given by

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Gm}{r}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.69065\times 10^{30}}{16.456\times 10^{9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=82780.42123\ m/s$

The orbital speed of the star is 82780.42123 m/s

The orbital period is given by

$t=\frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{2\pi \times 16.456\times 10^{9}}{82780.42123}\\\Rightarrow t=1249040.48419\ seconds=\dfrac{1249040.48419}{24\times 60\times 60}=14.45\ days$

The orbital period is 14.45 days

Two disks of polaroid are aligned so that they polarize light in the same plane. Calculate the angle through which one sheet nee

Olegator [25]

Answer: The unpolarized light's intensity is reduced by the factor of two when it passes through the polaroid and becomes linearly polarized in the plane of the Polaroid. When the polarized light passes through the polaroid with the plane of polarization at an angle $\theta$ with respect to the polarization plane of the incoming light, the light's intensity is reduced by the factor of $\cos^2\theta$ (this is the Law of Malus).

Explanation: Let us say we have a beam of unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ that passes through two parallel Polaroid discs with the angle of $\theta$ between their planes of polarization. We are asked to find $\theta$ such that the intensity of the outgoing beam is $I_2$ . To solve this we follow the steps below:

Step 1. It is known that when the unpolarized light passes through a polaroid its intensity is reduced by the factor of two, meaning that the intensity of the beam passing through the first polaroid is

$I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}.$

This beam also becomes polarized in the plane of the first polaroid.

Step 2. Now the polarized beam hits the surface of the second polaroid whose polarization plane is at an angle $\theta$ with respect to the plane of the polarization of the beam. After passing through the polaroid, the beam remains polarized but in the plane of the second polaroid and its intensity is reduced, according to the Law of Malus, by the factor of $\cos^2\theta.$ This yields $I_2=I_1\cos^2\theta$ . Substituting from the previous step we get

$I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}\cos^2\theta$

yielding

$\frac{2I_2}{I_0}=\cos^2\theta$

and finally,

$\theta=\arccos\sqrt{\frac{2I_2}{I_0}}$
