Multiple-Concept Example 5 provides some pertinent background for this problem. The mean distance between earth and the sun is 1.50 x 1011 m. The average intensity of solar radiation incident on the upper atmosphere of the earth is 1390 W/m2. Assuming the sun emits radiation uniformly in all directions, determine the total power radiated by the sun. i

reaches the ground with an intensity of about 1.0kW/m2 . A sunbather has a body surface area of 0.8 m2 facing the sun while reclining on a beach chair on a clear day. (a) how much energy from direct sunlight reaches the sunbather’s skin per second? (b) What pressure does the sunlight exert if it is absorbed?
(a) What is the intensity of a laser beam used to burn away cancerous tissue that, when 90.0% absorbed, puts 500 J of energy into a circular spot 2.00 mm in diameter in 4.00 s? (b) Discuss how this intensity compares to the average intensity of sunlight (about) and the implications that would have if the laser beam entered your eye. Note how your answer depends on the time duration of the exposure.
The Sun’s energy strikes Earth at an intensity of 1.37kW/m2 . Assume as a mode! approximation that all of the light is absorbed. (Actually, about 30% of the light intensity is reflected out into space.) (a) Calculate the total force that the Sun’s radiation exerts on Earth. (b) Compare this to the force of gravity between the Sun and Earth. Earth’s mass is 5.9721024 kg.
CASE STUDY A person in Franklins time may have been able to provide the same advice we came up with in Example 23.2. However, an 18th-century person may have had a different reason for his or her advice. What part of that persons explanation would be the same as ours? What would be different?

Q12 Find the intensity of the total radiation falling on an object in which the diffuse radiation is equal to 20% of the Direct radiation and if the length of the body is twice the length of its shadow Ise=1366 w/m2
The energy flux from the sun has a peak value of around 1500 W/m2, and solar cells are around 15% efficient. Estimate the area needed to satisfy US energy needs using solar cells, using the estimates that there are about 350 million people in the US and that we use an average of 90 kW/person. Also assume that there are about 6 hours of "peak" sunlight per day. Answer in square kilometers (do not put units in your answer, however).
