Question A7 The intensity of the emitted radiation by a star is at a maximum at a wavelength of 78.9 nm. a) Calculate the surface temperature of the star. b) Calculate the ratio of the intensity radiated at 65.0 nm to the maximum intensity. Assume that the star radiates like an ideal blackbody.
The emissivity of the human skin is 97.0 percent. Use 35.0 °C for the skin temperature and approximate the human body by a rectangular block with a height of 1.76 m, a width of 43.5 cm and a length of 22.0 cm. Calculate the power emitted by the human body. 2301 J units. No What is the wavelength of the peak in the spectral distribution for this temperature? Fortunately our environment radiates too. The human body absorbs this radiation with an absorbance of 97.0 percent, so we don't lose our internal energy so quickly. How much power do we absorb when we are in a room where the temperature is 23.0 °C? How much energy does our body lose in one second?
1. Determine numerically the mean value of the photon occupation number for sunlight at wavelengths of 0.5, 1.0, 10, and 100 µm. Assume the sun is a blackbody emitter of temperature 5800 K. For the same wavelengths, determine the mean value of the photon occupation number for a room-temperature blackbody.
