The wavelength of peak emission from any star is related to the temperature of its photosphere (i.e., the emitting surface) by Wien’s Law, given by λ = 2,900/T, where λ is the wavelength in micrometers (1 µm = 10-6 m), and T is the temperature of the star in Kelvin (see textbook’s figure 3.27 for help). Answer the following questions using the above equation. 2.1. The most massive star ever observed is a Wolf-Rayet type-star, named R136a1. It is so...

Blackbody Radiation, Wein’s Law, and BrightnessIt is believed that some white dwarf stars could host planets. (a) If the white dwarf has a luminosity ofLW D= 10−2L, how far from it must one of its’ planets besuch that the planet receives the same flux as the Earth does from our Sun (FEarth= 1360W/m2)?

A lot of blackbody irradiation emanates from the surface of the earth. Recall that light energy (and energy from any region of the electromagnetic spectrum) is quantized. The energy of a photon can be calculated as follows: E = hν = hcλ where h is the Planck constant (6.626×10−34 J⋅s), and c represents the speed of light (2.998×108 m/s). Calculate the energy (in joules) of each photon that is emitted from a patch of ground that is at 32 ∘C....

Do not solve the following question numerically unless specifically asked to do so. The flux from the Sun’s surface is given by L(sun)= 4πR(sun)^2 σT(sun)^4 , where T(sun) is the temperature on the Sun’s surface. (a) What Is the incident luminosity from the Sun seen on Earth’s surface? (b) Only a part of the luminosity incident on Earth’s surface is reflected back. The fraction of radiation reflected from Earth’s surface, or albedo, is given by A. The other part is...

This is from Principles of Planetary Climate, Problem 1.13 The thick CO2 atmosphere of Venus is nearly opaque in the infrared, so observations of Venus in the infrared spectrum provide no direct information about the temperature of the ground. However, the atmosphere is nearly transparent to microwave radiation, so the microwave emission of the planet can be used to infer its surface temperature. Indeed, this is how it was inferred in the 1960s that the surface of the planet was...
