- A device called an insolation meter is used to measure the intensity of sunlight. It has an area of 100 cm2 and registers 6.50 W. What is the intensity in W/m2?arrow_forwardA radio station broadcasts its radio waves with a power of 50,000 W. What would be the intensity of this signal if it is received on a planet orbiting Proxima Centuri, the closest star to our Sun, at 4.243 ly away?arrow_forwardWhat pressure does light emitted uniformly in all directions from a 100-W incandescent light bulb exert on a mirror at a distance of 3.0 in, if 2.6 W of the power is emitted as visible light?arrow_forward
- Suppose a spherical particle of mass m and radius R in space absorbs light of intensity I for time t. (a) How much work does the radiation pressure do to accelerate the particle (mm rest In the given tine It absorbs the light? (b) How much energy canted by the electromagnetic waves is absorbed by the particle over this time based on the radiant energy incident on the particle?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding How do the electromagnetic waves f the different kinds of electromagnetic radiation differ?arrow_forwardWhat is the intensity in W/m2 of a laser beam used to burn away cancerous tissue that, when 94.0% absorbed, puts 540 J of energy into a circular spot 2.20 mm in diameter in 4.00 s? Discuss how this intensity compares to the average intensity of sunlight (about 700 W/m2) and the implications it would have if the laser beam entered your eye. Note how your answer depends on the time duration of the exposure.arrow_forward
- Radiation Energy The total radiation energy E emittedby a heated surface per unit area varies as the fourthpower of its absolute temperature T. The temperature is6000 K at the surface of the sun and 300 K at the surfaceof the earth.(a) How many times more radiation energy per unit area isproduced by the sun than by the earth?(b) The radius of the earth is 3960 mi, and the radius of thesun is 435,000 mi. How many times more total radiationdoes the sun emit than the earth?arrow_forwardThe intensity I of radiation after passing a distance x through a shield, falls off according to the expression I = 2.718,, (approximately.) 1o er where 1o and l are constants, ande The variable Z In I should be in x exponential logarithmic O linear quadraticarrow_forwardThe intensity of solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphereis 1 370 W/m3. Assuming 60% of the incoming solar energyreaches Earth’s surface and assuming you absorb 50% of theincident energy, make an order - of - magnitude estimate of theamount of solar energy you absorb in a 60 - minute sunbath.arrow_forward
