Thermal emission from forehead. Noncontact thermom- eters are used to quickly measure the temperature of a person, to monitor for fever from an infection. They measure the power of the radiation from a surface, usually the forehead, in the infrared range, which is just outside the visible light range. Skin has an emissivity & = 0.97. What is the total power (infrared and vis- ible) of the radiation per unit area when the temperature is (a) 97.0°F (a common early morning temper- ature), (b) 99.0°F (a common late afternoon temperature), and (c) 103°F (a temperature indicating infection)? 36.8

(a) Calculate the rate in watts at which heat transfer through radiation occurs (almost entirely in the infrared) from 1.0m2 of the Earth’s surface at night. Assume the emissivity is 0.90, the temperature of the Earth is 15ºC, and that of outer space is 2.7 K. (b) Compare the intensity of this radiation with that coming to the Earth from the Sun during the day, which averages about 800W/m2, only half of which is absorbed. (c) What is the maximum magnetic field strength in the outgoing radiation, assuming it is a continuous wave?

Current Attempt in Progress The power radiated by the sun is 3.9 × 10²6 W. The earth orbits the sun in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.5 × 10¹¹ m. The earth's axis of rotation is tilted by 23.4° relative to the plane of the orbit (see the drawing), so sunlight does not strike the equator perpendicularly.
