(A) The solar constant $S$ is related to the temperature of the sun $T$,the radius of the sun $R$,and the distance from the sun to the earth $d$ by the formula: $S = \left( \frac{R}{d} ight)^2 \sigma T^4$ Given: $S = 1.4 \, kW/m^2 = 1.4 	imes 10^3 \, W/m^2$ $R = 7 	imes 10^5 \, km = 7 	imes 10^8 \, m$ $d = 1.5 	imes 10^8 \, km = 1.5 	imes 10^{11} \, m$ $\sigma = 5.67 	imes 10^{-8} \, W m^{-2} K^{-4}$ Substituting the values: $1.4 	imes 10^3 = \left( \frac{7 	imes 10^8}{1.5 	imes 10^{11}} ight)^2 	imes 5.67 	imes 10^{-8} 	imes T^4$ $1.4 	imes 10^3 = \left( \frac{7}{1500} ight)^2 	imes 5.67 	imes 10^{-8} 	imes T^4$ $T^4 = \frac{1.4 	imes 10^3 	imes (1500)^2}{49 	imes 5.67 	imes 10^{-8}}$ $T^4 \approx 1.13 	imes 10^{15} \approx 1130 	imes 10^{12}$ $T \approx 5800 \, K$

Radiation from a black body at the thermodynamic temperature $T_1$ is measured by a small detector at distance $d_1$ from it. When the temperature is increased to $T_2$ and the distance to $d_2$,the power received by the detector is unchanged. What is the ratio $d_2/d_1$?

The energy spectrum of a black body exhibits a maximum around a wavelength $\lambda_o$. The temperature of the black body is now changed such that the energy is maximum around a wavelength $\frac{3\lambda_o}{4}$. The power radiated by the black body will now increase by a factor of

Find the radiant energy emitted per second in $Js^{-1}$ by a lamp filament at $2000 K$. The surface area is $5.0 \times 10^{-5} m^{2}$,the relative emissivity is $0.85$,and $\sigma = 5.7 \times 10^{-8} W m^{-2} K^{-4}$.

The area of a hole of a heat furnace is $10^{-4} \ m^2$. It radiates $1.58 \times 10^5 \ \text{calories}$ of heat per hour. If the emissivity of the furnace is $0.80$, then its temperature is ....... $K$.
