To find:

Rate of emission of photons by the sun.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
At what rate does the Sun emit photons? For simplicity, assume that the Sun’s entire emission at the rate of 3.9 * 10^26 W is at the single wavelength of 550 nm.
Platinum has a prominent x-ray emission line at 66.8 keV.   (a) What is the minimum speed (in m/s) of an incident electron that could produce this emission line?       m/s     (b) What is the wavelength (in m) of a 66.8 keV x-ray photon?  m
Suppose a star with radius 8.69 x 10° m has a peak wavelength of 684 nm in the spectrum of its emitted radiation. (a) Find the energy of a photon with this wavelength. 0.029e-17 J/photon (b) What is the surface temperature of the star? 4274.3 X K (c) At what rate is energy emitted from the star in the form of radiation? Assume the star is a blackbody (e = 1). 1.9934e17 Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. W (d) Using the answer to part (a), estimate the rate at which photons leave the surface of the star. X photons/s
