QUESTION
You have a large, healthy philodendron that you carelessly leave in total darkness while you are on vacation. You are surprised to find that it is still alive when you return. What has the plant been using for an energy source while in the dark?
A. When light energy is not available, plants can derive energy from inorganic molecules.
B. Even though the plant received no visible light, it was able to use the short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum (gamma rays and X-rays) to carry out photosynthesis.
C. While it did have access to light, the plant stored energy in the form of sugars or starch, and it was able to derive energy from the stored molecules during your vacation.
D. Even though it can't carry out the light reactions, the plant can still produce sugars because the Calvin cycle doesn't require light.
E. None of the above.

Assume the emissivity is 0.90, the temperature of the Earth is 15°C, and that of outer space is 2.7 K. (b) Compare the intensity at this radiation with that coming to the Earth from the Sun during the day, which averages about 800 W/m2, only hall of which is absorbed. (c) What is the maximum magnetic field strength in the outgoing radiation, assuming it is a continuous wave?arrow_forwardSolar wind (radiation) that is incident on the top of Earth’s atmosphere has an average intensity of 1.3kW/ m2. Suppose that you are building a solar sail that is to propel a small toy spaceship with a mass of 0.1 kg in the space between the International Space Station and the moon. The sail is made from a very light material, which perfectly reflects the incident radiation. To assess whether such a project is feasible, answer the following questions, assuming that radiation photons are incident only in normal direction to the sail reflecting surface. (a) What is the radiation pressure (force per m2) of the radiation falling on the mirror-like sail? (b) Given the radiation pressure computed in (a), what will be the acceleration of the spaceship when the sail has of an area of 10.0 m2 ? (c) Given the acceleration estimate in (b), how fast will the spaceship be moving after 24 hours when it starts from rest?arrow_forwardYou are working in a condensed-matter laboratory for your senior project. Several of the ongoing projects use liquid helium, which is contained in a thermally insulated vessel that can hold up to a maximum of Vmax = 240 L of the liquid at Tc = 4.20 K. Because some of the liquid helium has already been used, someone asks you to check to see if there is enough for the next day, on which four different experimental groups will need liquid helium. You are not sure how to measure the amount of liquid remaining, so you insert an aluminum rod of length L = 2.00 m and with a cross-sectional area A = 2.50 cm2 into the vessel. By seeing how much of the lower end of the rod is frosted when you pull it out, you can estimate the depth of the liquid helium. After inserting the rod, however, one of the experimenters calls you over to perform a task and you forget about the rod, leaving it in the liquid helium until the next morning. How much liquid helium is available for the next days experiments? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 k; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.) Assume that gaseous helium can escape from the top of the vessel.arrow_forward
