The sun radiates energy at the rate of 6...

The sun radiates energy at the rate of `6.4xx10^(7)Wm^(-2)` . Calculate its temperature assuming it to be a black body.

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the temperature of the Sun assuming it to be a black body, we can use the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which states that the energy radiated per unit area of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature (T). The formula is given by: \[ E = \sigma T^4 \] where: - \( E \) is the energy radiated per unit area (in watts per square meter, W/m²), - \( \sigma \) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, approximately \( 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{W/m}^2\text{K}^4 \), - \( T \) is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. ...
