Question
Chapter 27, Problem 1CQ
To determine
Why is it difficult to discern the shapes of the object inside a very hot kiln.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
When the object is inside a hot kiln, the object gets heated and thus emit thermal
Conclusion:
The glowing of the hot kiln and the hot object emits continuous wavelength from infrared, visible and ultraviolet portions of the spectrum. So, it is difficult to discern the shapes of the object inside a very hot kiln

For a science project on solar power, a student uses a 24-cmcm-diameter converging mirror with a focal length of 51 cmcm to focus sunlight onto an object. This casts an image of the sun on the object. For the most intense heat, the image of the sun should be in focus. The intensity of the incoming sunlight is 1050 W/m2W/m2. What is the total power of the light captured by the mirror? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardTwo lamps of 25 and 50 candelas are 100 cm apart.
