Need help using Boltzmann's constant. If i'm trying to find average thermal velocity (Vrms) of a water droplet (spherical) and i'm given radius = 10^-6 m at 293.15 K, and the density of water is 0.997 g/mL (997 kg/m^3), how would i go about finding the Vrms? The droplet can also be treated as an ideal gas particle.

Show that the mass density of radiation ρrad is given by ρrad = 4σT4/c3 where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature. You might fi nd the Stefan-Boltzmann law and E = mc2 to be useful.
The surface temperature of Sun is about 6000 K. If we consider the Sun as a black body, what is the radiation power per unit of area?(Given the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.678×10−8 W/K4 ?.???×??−? ?/?? )
The Inverse-Square and Stefan-Boltzmann's Laws Recall that the Stefan-Boltzmann law estimates the total amount of emission, per unit area, that is leaving the surface of a blackbody. This is termed the total emittance. The Stefan-Boltzman law is described by the formula Eq (1): E* = σSB • T 4 Eq (1) Where E* is the total emittance in W/m2, σSB is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant with a value of 5.67 x 10-8 W/m2•K4 and T is the blackbody temperature in K. The equation for the inverse-square law is shown below Eq (2). E*2 = E*1 • (R1 / R2)2 Eq (2) Where E*2 is the irradiance at the distance of interest, E*1 is the emission from an emitter (for example, the Sun) or at a reference location (for example, at the orbital distance of a planet) and is equivalent to E* from Eq (1), R1 is the radius of the emitter, and R2 is the distance to the…
In a fully degenerate gas, all the particles have energies lower than the Fermi energy. Using the provided equation for the Fermi energy (EF), and assuming a white dwarf star has a temperature T = 107 K and a mass M = 1Msun, evaluate numerically the ratio Eth/EF, where Eth is the characteristic thermal energy of an electron in a gas of temperature T, to prove that the electrons inside a white dwarf are indeed degenerate. (Hint: Estimate the characteristic density (ne) based on the given conditions inside a white dwarf)
The brightest star in the sky is Sirius, the Dog Star. Itis actually a binary system of two stars, the smaller one (Sirius B)being a white dwarf. Spectral analysis of Sirius B indicates that itssurface temperature is 24 000 K and that it radiates energy at a totalrate of 1.0 · 1025 W. Assume that it behaves like an ideal blackbody.(a) What is the radius of Sirius B? Express your answer in kilometersand as a fraction of our Sun’s radius (R= 6.96 · 108 m). (b) Whichstar radiates more total energy per second, the hot Sirius B or the(relatively) cool Sun with a surface temperature of T = 5800 K? Tofind out, calculate the ratio of the total power radiated by our Sun tothe power radiated by Sirius B.
Suppose someone is running a fever of 102.0° F (average being 98.6° F). How much more power (in Watts) does this person radiate than when this person is at normal human body temperature, assuming the fever causes no swelling or edema, or emaciation? Remember that for thermal radiators, intensity I = sigma T^4; where sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is temperature in Kelvins.

Our sun is a standard sequence yellow dwarf star with a temperature of about 6000 K and a radius of about 7 x 10^8 m, emitting about 3.8 x 10^26 W. There are yellow giant stars with the same blackbody color (temperature) but with a radius 10 times larger than our sun (7 x 10^9 m). Estimate the power (emitted radiation) from one of these yellow giant stars. (Hint: how much larger is the surface area of the yellow giant star, and pay careful attention to the power of 10 below.)
