The radiant energy from the Sun incident normally at the surface of earth is `20kcal//m^(2)` min What would have been the radiant energy incident normally on the earth if the sun had a temperature twice of the present one ? .

A

`40kcal//(m^(2)-min)`

B

`80kcal//(m^(2)-min)`

C

`160kCal//(m^(2)-min)`

D

`320Kcal(m^(2)-min)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`E=sigmaT^(4)rArr(E_(1))/(E_(2))=((T_(1))/(T_(2)))^(4)`

The radient energy from the sum incident normally at the surface of earth is 20 k cal/ m^(2) min. What would have been the radiant energy incident normally on the earth, if the sum had a temperature twice of the present one.

A body is in thermal equilibrium with surrounding. Absorptive power of the surface of the body is a = 0.5 . E is the radiant energy incident in unit time on the surface of the body. How much energy propagates from its surface in unit time?

The earth receives at its surface radiation from the sun at the rate of 1400 Wm^-2. The distance of the centre of the sun from the surface of the earth is 1.5xx10^11 m and the radius of the sun is 7xx10^8m. Treating the sun as a black body, it follows from the above data taht its surface temperature is ......K

Solar constant, I_(s) is defined as intensity of solar radiation incident on the Earth. Its value is close to 1.4 kW//m^(2) . Nearly 68% of this energy is absorbed by the Earth. The average temperature of Earth is about 290 K. Radius of the Earth is R_(e) = 6000 km and that of the Sun is R_(s) = 700,000 km . Earth - Sun distance is r = 1.5 xx 10_(8) km . Assume Sun to be a black body. (a) Estimate the effective emissivity of earth. (b) Find the power of the sun. (c) Estimate the surface temperature of the Sun.

A "50 W m"^(-2) energy density of sunlight is incident normally on the surface of a solar panel. Some part of incident energy (25%) is reflected from the surface and the rest is absorbed. The force exerted on 1m^(2) surface area will be close to (c=3xx10^(8)ms^(-1))

Light with energy flux of 18W//cm^(2) falls on a non reflecting surface of area 20cm^(2) at normal incidence the momentum delivered in 30 minutes is

The energy reveived from the sun by the earth and surrounding atmosphere is 2 cal cm^(-2) min^(-1) on a surface normal to the rays of sun. Q. What is the total energy radiated, in J min^(-1) , by the sun to the universe? Distance of the sun from the earth is 1.49xx10^(11) m.

The energy reveived from the sun by the earth and surrounding atmosphere is 2 cal cm^(-2) "min" ^(-1) on a surface normal to the rays of sun. Q. What is the total energy received, in joule, by the earth and its atmosphere?
