Question

Transcribed Image Text:(10) Use the intensity of sunlight measured on Earth (I = 1400 W/m²) to estimate the (surface)
temperature of the Sun. Light takes about 500 s on average to get from the sun to the earth.

- Water with a mass of mW = 0.400 kg and temperature of TW = 18.5°C is poured into an insulated bucket containing mI = 0.11 kg of ice at a temperature of TI = -18°C. Assume the specific heats of ice and water are constant at cI = 2.10×103 J/(kg⋅°C) and cW = 4.19×103 J/(kg⋅°C), respectively. The latent heat of fusion for water is Lf = 334×103 J/kg.

- The next four questions use this description. Our Sun has a peak emission wavelength of about 500 nm and a radius of about 700,000 km. Your dark-adapted eye has a pupil diameter of about 7 mm and can detect light intensity down to about 1.5 x 10-11 W/m2. Assume the emissivity of the Sun is equal to 1. First, given these numbers, what is the surface temperature of the Sun in Kelvin to 3 significant digits? What is the power output of the Sun in moles of watts? (in other words, take the number of watts and divide it by Avogadro's number) Assuming that all of the Sun's power is given off as 500 nm photons*, how many photons are given off by the Sun every second?
