    What is the energy density of sunlight on Earth and near the surface of the sun?

    dR/D(lambda)=dU/d(lambda)(4/c) du=4dR/c integrate u=4R/c where R is 1350(solar constant) and gives the energy density on earth. for part b L=4pir^2 S(solar constant) S=L(luminosity)/4pir(of the sun)^2 then u=4r/c where R=S

    What is the energy density of sunlight on Earth and near the surface of the sun?

    Thought about it some... Could I use Planks formula or Raleight Jeanes law to solve this? Since the wavelength is rather large, I'm thinking I could, but I'm not sure how to apply it.

    What is the energy density of sunlight on Earth and near the surface of the sun?

    [SOLVED] Energy Density of Sunlight Homework Statement Use the solar constant (1350 W/m^2) to calculate the energy density of sunlight at a)Earth and b) near the surface of the sun. Homework Equations Stefan-Boltzman = (2pi^5)/(15(h^3)(c^2)) h=6.63x10^-34 j.s L(solar...

    Deflection of an electron due to gravity.

    General Relatvity?? No it is not. The speed is to slow.

    Deflection of an electron due to gravity.

    Alright so as far as I have it figured. v(y) = gt then take v(y)/v(x) and take the inverse tan of it to get the answer. It gives the angle of deflection in radians. The answer I got does not match that of the book but is close enough. It's a very small number. the answer the book was looking...

    Deflection of an electron due to gravity.

    Homework Statement There are two parts to the question. A)Why is gravity not important during JJ Thomsons experiment? b)what is the deflection due to gravity? Given variables. In a thomson spectromoter set at 10^4 (V/m). deflection without the magnetic field applied equals .10 radians over a L...

    Moment of inertia and a gyroscope

    yea, I=MR^2 is for used on a particle or a person in some examples. I=(MR^2)/2 is for a disc
