- Your house will be empty for a while in cold weather and want to save energy and money. Should you tum the thermostat down to the lowest level that will protect the house from damage such as freezing pipes, or leave it at the normal temperature? (If you don't like coming back to a cold house, imagine that a timer controls the heating system so the house will be warm when you get back.) Explain your answer.arrow_forwardAt our distance from the Sun, the intensity of solar radiation is 1 370 W/m2. The temperature of the Earth is affected by the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. This phenomenon describes the effect of absorption of infrared light emitted by the surface so as to make the surface temperature of the Earth higher than if it were airless. For comparison, consider a spherical object of radius r with no atmosphere at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth. Assume its emissivity is the same for all kinds of electromagnetic waves and its temperature is uniform over its surface. (a) Explain why the projected area over which it absorbs sunlight is r2 and the surface area over which it radiates is 4r2. (b) Compute its steady-state temperature. Is it chilly?arrow_forwardWhat would happen if the glass of a thermometer expanded more on warming than did the liquid in the tube?
