The correct Answer is:
To calculate the energy radiated by the Sun in one minute, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Radius of the Sun, \( r = 6.8 \times 10^8 \) m - Temperature of the Sun, \( T = 5800 \) K - Stefan-Boltzmann constant, \( \sigma = 5.7 \times 10^{-8} \) W/m²K⁴ ### Step 2: Calculate the surface area of the Sun The surface area \( A \) of a sphere is given by the formula: \[ A = 4 \pi r^2 \] Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ A = 4 \pi (6.8 \times 10^8)^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the power radiated by the Sun The power \( P \) radiated by a black body is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann law: \[ P = \sigma A T^4 \] Substituting the values of \( A \) and \( T \): \[ P = 5.7 \times 10^{-8} \times A \times (5800)^4 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the energy radiated in one minute Energy radiated in one minute \( Q \) can be calculated by multiplying the power by the time in seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds): \[ Q = P \times 60 \] ### Step 5: Substitute and calculate 1. Calculate \( A \): \[ A = 4 \pi (6.8 \times 10^8)^2 = 4 \times 3.14 \times (6.8^2 \times 10^{16}) \approx 4 \times 3.14 \times 46.24 \times 10^{16} \approx 3.95 \times 10^{17} \text{ m}^2 \] 2. Calculate \( P \): \[ P = 5.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 3.95 \times 10^{17} \times (5800)^4 \] First calculate \( (5800)^4 \): \[ (5800)^4 = 1.086 \times 10^{15} \] Now substitute: \[ P \approx 5.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 3.95 \times 10^{17} \times 1.086 \times 10^{15} \approx 2.36 \times 10^{25} \text{ W} \] 3. Calculate \( Q \): \[ Q = P \times 60 \approx 2.36 \times 10^{25} \times 60 \approx 1.416 \times 10^{27} \text{ J} \] ### Final Answer The energy radiated by the Sun in one minute is approximately \( 1.416 \times 10^{27} \) Joules. ---
