A dark blue cylindrical bottle is 22 cm high and has a diameter of 7.0 cm. It is filled with water. The bottle absorbs 60% of the light that shines on it as it lies on its side in the noonday sun, with intensity 1000 W/m2. By how much will the temperature of the water increase in 5.0 min if there’s negligible heat loss to the surrounding air?

- Assume the mostly infrared radiation from a heat lamp acts like a continuous wave with wavelength 1.50 µm . If the lamp’s 200-W output is focused on a person’s shoulder, over a circular area 25.0 cm in diameter, then how long will it take to increase the temperature of the 4.00-kg shoulder by 2.00°C, assuming no other heat transfer and given that its specific heat is 3.47 × 103 J/kg. °C ?arrow_forwardWhat is the intensity in W/m2 of a laser beam used to burn away cancerous tissue that puts 374 J of energy into a circular spot 2.00 mm in diameter in 4.67 s? Compare this to the average intensity of sunlight (about 700 W/m2). answer blank times 10^7arrow_forwardThe mean distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.50×1011 m. The average intensity of solar radiation incident on the upper atmosphere of the Earth is 1390 W/m2. Assuming that the Sun emits radiation uniformly in all directions, determine the total power radiated by the Sun.arrow_forward
- A dish of lasagna is being heated in a microwave oven. The effective area of the lasagna that is exposed to the microwaves is 2.89 x 10^-2 m2. The mass of the lasagna is 0.680 kg, and it's specific heat capacity is 3920 j /(kg C degrees). The temperature rises by 87.1 degrees Celsius in 6.7 minutes. What is the intensity of the microwaves in the oven?arrow_forwardThe intensity of solar radiation at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere is 1 370 W/m2. Assuming 60% of the incoming solar energy reaches the Earth’s surface and you absorb 50% of the incident energy, make an order-of-magnitude estimate of the amount of solar energy you absorb if you sunbathe for 60 minutes.arrow_forwardA microwave oven can heat 330 g of water from 25.0°C to 100.0°C in 2.60 min. The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg·K. These microwaves pass through a waveguide of cross-sectional area 61.0 cm2. What is the average intensity of the microwaves in the waveguide? *need answer in W/m2*arrow_forward
