The sun delivers `10^3W//m^2` of electromagnetic flux to the earth's surface, which is at a distance of `1.5xx10^(11)m` from the sun. The whole incident electromagnetic flux is absorbed by the earth.
The total electromagnetic power of the sun is

A

`5.6xx10^(20)W`

B

`5.6xx10^(22)W`

C

`5.6xx10^(26)W`

D

`5.6xx10^(30)W`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Total electromagnetic power of sun
`=10^3xx4pixx(1.5xx10^(11))^2=5.6xx10^(26)W`

The sun delivers 10^(3)W//m^(2) of electromagnetic flux to the earth's surface. The total power that is incident on a roof of dimensions 8mxx20m is 1.6xx10^(5)W , the radiation force on the roof will be-

The sun delivers 10^(3) W//m^(2) of electromagnetic flux is incident on a roof of dimension 8m xx 20m is 1.6 xx 10^(5) W, the radiation force on the roof will be-

The sun delivers about 1.4kW m^(-2) of electromagnetic flux to the earth's surface. Calculate A. the total power incident on a roof of dimensions 8mxx20 m. B. the solar energy in joules incident on the roof in 1h. C.the radiation pressure and force assuming the roof to be a perfect absorber.

A celestial body, not bound to sun, will only pass by the sun once. Calculate the minimum speed of such a body when it is at a distance of 1.5xx10^(11)m from the sun (this is verage distancebetween the sun & the earth and is known as astronomical unit- A.U.) The mass of the sun is M underline~2xx10^(30)kg. G=6.67xx10^(-11)(N-m^(2))/(kg^(2)) Show that this speed is sqrt(2) times greater than speed of earth around the sun, assuming circular trajectory
