The sun emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves at a rate of 3.9 x 10^26 W. This energy is produced by nuclear reactions deep in the sun's interior.
Part A
Find the intensity of electromagnetic radiation at the surface of the sun (radius r = R = 6.96 x 10^5 km). Ignore any scattering of the waves as they move radially outward from the center of the sun.
Part B
Find the radiation pressure on an absorbing object at the surface of the sun
Part C
Find the intensity of electromagnetic radiation at r = R/2 in the sun's interior
Part D
Find the radiation pressure on an absorbing object at r = R/2 in the sun's interior.
