To determine

The Kirchhoff’s law which best describes the spectrum of the Sun as shown in Figure 5-14. Also determine the Kirchhoff’s law which best applies to the case shown in Figure 5-16, in which the spectrum is produced by the heating of helium.

In the graph below, the yellow region shows the AM 1.5 solar spectrum. The area indicated by the blue area represents the AM 1.0 spectrum. The boundaries of the AM 1.0 spectrum; When λ = between 250nm and 1000nm Pλ = 1x109Wm^(-2) m^(-1) When λ = between 1000nm and 2000nm Pλ = 0.25x109W m^(-2) m^(-1) In that case; a-) Find the radiation intensity (I) and photon flux () for AM 1.0. b-) If the radiation intensity in the option a comes to the silicon solar cell with a band gap of 1.12eV, how much will the photo-current be produced?
Question. Star A has a surface temperature of 4000 K while star B is 40,000 K on its surface. Assuming that both have the same radius, indicate the statement that is true: Answer. O Star A emits more at infrared wavelengths than star B The wavelength at which the emission of star B peaks is "redder" than the corresponding wave- length for star A O The radiation spectrum of star B peaks in the infrared range None of the above
Tutorial Star A has a temperature of 5,000 K and Star B has a temperature of 6,000 K. At what wavelengths (in nm) will each of these star's intensity be at its maximum? If the temperatures of the stars increase, the wavelength of maximum intensity. What is the temperature (in K) of a star that appears most intense at a wavelength of 829 nm? Part 1 of 4 Wien's Law tells us how the temperature of a star determines the wavelength of maximum intensity or at what wavelength the star appears brightest. 2.90 x 106 TK If the temperature is in kelvin (K) then A is in nanometers (nm). Anm ^A = AB = = Part 2 of 4 To determine the wavelengths of maximum intensity for the two stars: 2.90 x 106 2.90 x 106 K nm nm
