- As an amateur astronomer, you are studying the apparent brightness of stars. You know that a star’s apparent brightness depends on its distance from the earth and also on the fraction of its radiated energy that is in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. But, as a first step, you search the Internet for information on the surface temperatures and radii of some selected stars so that you can calculate their total radiated power. You find the data given in the table. The radius is given in units of the radius of the sun, Rsun = 6.96 * 108 m. The surface temperature is the effective temperature that gives the measured photon luminosity of the star if the star is assumed to radiate as an ideal blackbody. The photon luminosity is the power emitted in the form of photons. (a) Which star in the table has the greatest radiated power?

He asks, Why would atoms bond into solids rather than just floating freely with respect to each other? To help him understand at least one type of bonding in solids, you decide to embark on an energy explanation. You show him a drawing of a primitive cell of a sodium chloride crystal, NaCl, or simple table salt. The drawing is shown in Figure P24.10, where the orange spheres are Na+ ions and the blue spheres are Cl ions. Each ion has a charge of magnitude equal to the elementary charge e. The ions lie on the comers of a cube of side d. You explain to your roommate that the electrical potential energy is defined as zero when all eight charges are infinitely far apart from each other. Then you bring them together to form the crystal structure shown. (a) Evaluate the electric potential energy of the crystal as shown and (b) show that it is energetically favorable for such crystals to form. Figure P24.10arrow_forward

Gallium when heated to a temperature of just 85 degrees becomes liquid and with a mild current applied to it has carbon removing property. Without our unique design we form artificial lungs through a proprietary honey comb design and forced air that is heated through coils. The gallium is then recycled as it makes its way through the structures acting as a conductor while absorbing the carbon from the forced air which comes in through rows of high RPM fans. The gallium contains the carbon moving with the force of simple gravity to a carbon separator where it is extracted through plasma and excreted as a solid pellet form where it can be repurposed at a later time. The Gallium is the recycled in a closed loop system and after the carbon is extracted it repeats this process continually. Gallium is eco friendly unlike its other metal cousins. It’s job is to gather and extract carbon in a continuous loop much like a blood stream. Because of the low temp melting point of…arrow_forward
