Calculating Thermal Radiation: Power and Wavelength of a 47000K Object

AI Thread Summary
A 47000K object emits thermal radiation, and to calculate its power per square meter, Stefan-Boltzmann's law is applicable. The law states that the power emitted is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. For peak wavelength, Wien's displacement law can be used, which relates temperature to wavelength. The discussion emphasizes the need for understanding these laws before tackling the problem. Overall, familiarity with these formulas is crucial for accurate calculations of thermal radiation.

Consider a 47000K object that emits thermal radiation.

How much power does it emit per square meter?

What is its wavelength of peak intensity?What formula do I use to solve these questions?

How about trying Stefan-Boltzmann's law?

Were you taught any topics prior to being given this problem?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
