How much solar energy is received by 1 m...

How much solar energy is received by `1 m^2` area on the Earth in `5` minutes, assuming that `47 %` of the solar energy strikes the Earth's surface ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`197.4`
Hear energy received `= (47//100)(1.4 kW//m^2)(1 m^2) (5 xx 60 s) = 197.4 kJ`.
