For a science project on solar power, a student uses a 24-cmcm-diameter converging mirror with a focal length of 51 cmcm to focus sunlight onto an object. This casts an image of the sun on the object. For the most intense heat, the image of the sun should be in focus. What is the intensity of sunlight in the projected image? Assume that all of the light captured by the mirror is focused into the image. Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardRelate how astronomers use telescopes and electronics to analyze the electromagnetic spectrum to identify properties of celestial objectsarrow_forward
