<span>Nuclear energy can be used to power all of the above choices. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste that must be stored properly. It is very impossible for a nuclear power plant to have no waste at all since lots of chemicals are used to create the process as it gives energy to other machines, weapons such as bombs and powering submarines. Radioactive waste can not be released into local water supplies since the wastes are very radioactive and may cause mutation to the fishes and bioaccumulation which will affect humans as well. It will also cause air pollution if the chemicals are not stored properly.</span>

the average power of the Sun is 3.79x1026 Watts, answer the following questions: 13. What is the average intensity of light at E

Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Average power of sun $P=3.79\times10^{26}\ Watt$

We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position

Using formula of intensity

$I=\dfrac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}$

Where, I = intensity

P = power

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{3.79\times10^{26}}{4\pi\times(1.496\times10^{11})^2}$

$I=1347.616\ W/m^2$

So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².

(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully reflective

$P = \dfrac{2I}{c}$

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{2\times1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=8.984\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

(B). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully absorptive

$P=\dfrac{I}{c}$

$P=\dfrac{1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=4.492\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

Hence, This is the required solution.
