AI Thread Summary
To calculate the power emitted by a star with a radius of 1.90x10^9 m and a surface temperature of 15,200K in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 510 nm, the surface area is determined using the formula 4πR^2. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using the provided resources to find the necessary information for the calculation. Participants express a desire for clarity on the application of these formulas and concepts. The conversation highlights the challenge of integrating theoretical knowledge with practical calculations. Ultimately, assistance is sought to arrive at the correct power emission value.

I really really tried my best. So can someone help me now?
 
4*pi()*R^2...But I wish it is pi()*R^2

It is what it is. Can you use the information from the link I posted, or your text, and the surface area of the star to find the answer?
 
yea, thanks.
