This question relates to the practicality of searching for intelligent life in other solar systems by detecting their radio broadcasts (or aliens find us from ours). The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 460 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for there to be only one photon per second per square meter? Assume that the photons spread out spherically. The area of a sphere is 4??24πr2.
b) How many lightyears away is this?
Consider a black body of surface area 22.0 cm² and temperature 5700 K.
(a) How much power does it radiate?
131675.5
W
(b) At what wavelength does it radiate most intensely?
508.421
nm
(c) Find the spectral power per wavelength at this wavelength. Remember that the Planck intensity is "intensity per unit wavelength", with units of W/m³, and "power per unit
wavelength" is equal to that intensity times the surface area, with units of W/m
131.5775
Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. W/m
The Red Supergiant Betelgeuse. The star Betelgeuse has a surface temperature of 3000 K and is 600 times the diameter of our sun. (If our sun were that large, we would be inside it!) Assume that it radiates like an ideal blackbody. (a) If Betelgeuse were to radiate all of its energy at the peak intensity wavelength, how many photons per second would it radiate? (b) Find the ratio of the power radiated by Betelgeuse to the power radiated by our sun (at 5800 K).
