Assuming the Sun to be a perfectly spherical black body of radius and is at a temperature , then the total radiant power incident on the Earth at a distance from the sun is ( consider is the radius of the Earth and is Stefan's constant).
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The total power radiated by the Sun is given by Stefan's law:
The intensity of this radiation at a distance from the Sun is:
The Earth intercepts this radiation over its cross-sectional area, which is .
The total radiant power incident on the Earth is:
