Answer:

<h2>650W/m²</h2>

Explanation:

Intensity of the sunlight is expressed as I  = Power/cross sectional area. It is measured in W/m²

Given parameters

Power rating = 6.50Watts

Cross sectional area = 100cm²

Before we calculate the intensity, we need to convert the area to m² first.

100cm² = 10cm * 10cm

SInce 100cm = 1m

10cm = (10/100)m

10cm = 0.1m

100cm² = 0.1m * 0.1m = 0.01m²

Area (in m²) = 0.01m²

Required

Intensity of the sunlight I

I = P/A

I = 6.5/0.01

I = 650W/m²

Hence, the intensity of the sunlight in W/m² is 650W/m²
