Background Literally thousands of planet candidates have now been discovered via the transit method by looking for the very slight dimming of a star caused by a planet passing in front of it. In this workshop, you will determine the orbital period, radius, orbital radius, and length of transit path from the light curve of a planet. The plot below shows the intensity of light from a star during seven days, dimmed by a planet crossing in front. The star has a radius of 2x10° meters. Light Intensity 1.00 0.99 0.98 0.97 0.96 4 1 2 Time [days]

1.26 Repeat Problem 1.25 but assume that the surface of the storage vessel has an absorbance (equal to the emittance) of 0.1. Then determine the rate of evaporation of the liquid oxygen in kilograms per second and pounds per hour, assuming that convection can be neglected. The heat of vaporization of oxygen at –183°C is .
The sun is the only star whose size we can easily measure directly; astronomers therefore estimate the sizes of other stars using Stefan's law. The spectrum of the star Betelgeuse, plotted as a function of energy, peaks at a photon energy of 0.8 eV, while Betelgeuse is approximately 10,000 times as luminous as the sun. How does the radius of Betelgeuse compare to the sun's radius? Why is Betelgeuse called a "red supergiant"?
The sun's intensity at the distance of the earth is 1370 W/m2W/m2. 30%% of this energy is reflected by water and clouds; 70%% is absorbed. What would be the earth's average temperature (in ∘C∘C) if the earth had no atmosphere? The emissivity of the surface is very close to 1. (The actual average temperature of the earth, about 15 ∘C∘C, is higher than your calculation because of the greenhouse effect.) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
4. 51 Pegasi b was the first extra-solar planet found around a main sequence starother than our Sun. The star, 51 Pegasi, is very much like the Sun, and it has a luminosityL = 1.30L⊙. 51 Pegasi b has an average orbital radius of 0.0527 AU and it is tidally lockedto 51 Pegasi. Given that it thought to have a Bond albedo of 0.1, what is its “no greenhouse”temperature? Note- it is tidally locked, but you should assume the temperature of the planetis uniform due to winds transferring heat.
a) The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount of heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 5.00-g peanut if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.500 kg of water held in a 0.100-kg aluminum cup, causing a 54.9C temperature increase? (b) Compare your answer to labeling information found on a package of peanuts and comment on whether the values are consistent.
7. Consider the statement “An extraterrestrial astronomer surveying our solarsystem with the Doppler technique could discover the existence of Jupiter with just a fewdays observation.” Does this statement make sense? Why or why not?
Extrasolar Planets. In the not-too-distant future, it should be possible to detect the presence ofplanets moving around other stars by measuring the Doppler shift in the infrared light they emit. If a planetis going around its star at 50 km/h while emitting infrared light of frequency 3.330 x 1014 Hz, whatfrequency light will be received from this planet when it is moving directly away from us? (Note: Infraredlight is light having wavelengths longer than those of visible light.)
In centrifugal casting, the lighter impurities are (a) uniformly distributed (b) forced towards the outer surface (c) trapped near the mean radius of the casting (d) collected at the centre of the casting
Pertaining to Lab 3 Q14, why is the peak net radiation approximately the same on the two dates seen in figures 3-5 and 3-6? The weather conditions must have been the same on those dates (i.e. clouds, pressure, temperature, etc.) The data for both days must have been taken on surfaces with the same albedo Botswana is right on the equator so it has very little variation throughout the year The latent heat, sensible, heat, and soil fluxes when averaged together are about the same on both days The sun angles are similar on both dates

It's a method through which data may be sent in the form of light pulses along long strands of glass or plastic.
