The correct Answer is:
To find the efficiency of the solar system, we can use the formula for efficiency in a thermodynamic system, which is given by: \[ \eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1} \] where: - \( T_1 \) is the temperature of the source (the Sun), - \( T_2 \) is the temperature of the sink (the Earth). ### Step 1: Identify the temperatures From the problem, we have: - Temperature of the Sun (source), \( T_1 = 6000 \, K \) - Temperature of the Earth (sink), \( T_2 = 300 \, K \) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the efficiency formula Now, we can substitute these values into the efficiency formula: \[ \eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1} = 1 - \frac{300}{6000} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the fraction Next, we simplify the fraction: \[ \frac{300}{6000} = \frac{1}{20} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the efficiency Now we can substitute this back into the efficiency equation: \[ \eta = 1 - \frac{1}{20} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \eta = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95 \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the efficiency of the solar system is: \[ \eta = 0.95 \] ### Final Answer The efficiency of the solar system is \( 0.95 \). ---

To find the efficiency of the solar system, we can use the formula for efficiency in a thermodynamic system, which is given by: \[ \eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1} \] where: - \( T_1 \) is the temperature of the source (the Sun), ...
