consider a bright star in our sky. assume its distance from earth is 38.3 light-year (ly) and its power output is 4.00 * 10^28 W. about 100 times that of the sun. one light-year is the distance traveled by light through a vacuum in one year. a. find the intensity of the starlight at the earth. b. find the power of the starlight at the earth intercepts ( the radius of earth is 6.38 * 10^6 m .)
