(a) Estimate (roughly) the total power radiated by your body, neglecting any energy that is returned by your clothes and environment. (Whatever the color of your skin, its emissivity at infrared wavelengths is quite close to 1; almost any nonmetal is a near-perfect blackbody at these wavelengths.)

(b) Compare the total energy radiated by your body in one day (expressed in kilocalories) to the energy in the food you cat. Why is there such a large discrepancy?

(c) The sun has a mass of 21030kgand radiates energy at a rate of 3.91026watts. Which puts out more power per units mass-the sun or your body?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) . The total power radiated by our body 1kW

(b) .role="math" localid="1647768533942" The energy we would lose in one dayis20,000cal.

(c) .The radiation rate per kilogramis0.0002W/kg

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

  • The total power radiated by our body we use is given by Power=eAT4
02

Step 2. Calculating the total power radiated by our body we use .

The power radiated is

Power=eAT4

T=310K, A=2m2, e=1.

Power=5.6710-8W/m2K42m2(310K)4

=1050W

1000W

1.0103W

1kW

Hence, This is the rate at which we would lose energy, if we were naked in empty space .

Step 3. Calculating the energy we would lose in one day .

The rate, the energy we would lose in one day will be

(1050W)(24hr)3600s1hr=9.0107J1kcal4186J

=20,000kcal

As we can see that it is ten times the numbers of calories that an average person conserves in a day about (2000). The discrepancy is due to the fact that we are not naked in empty space, most of the energy that we radiate is replaced by energy radiated or conducted back to us by our clothes and other surroundings

Step 4. Calculating the radiation rate per kilogram.

Now, the radiation rate per kilogram is

1000W75kg=14W/kgin case of seen it is

3.91026W21030kg=0.0002W/kg

As it is 70,000 times less, have we get a reason that, how is it possible of although the sun is bright it is also very massive. Although it generates energy by nuclear fusion the reaction in its core actually proceeds extremely slowly giving it a ten billion year life time. So, I on the other hand have to replenish my chemical fuel supply on daily basis.

Carry out the Sommerfeld expansion for the energy integral (7.54), to obtain equation 7.67. Then plug in the expansion for to obtain the final answer, equation 7.68.

An atomic nucleus can be crudely modeled as a gas of nucleons with a number density of 0.18fm-3(where 1fm=10-15m). Because nucleons come in two different types (protons and neutrons), each with spin 1/2, each spatial wavefunction can hold four nucleons. Calculate the Fermi energy of this system, in MeV. Also calculate the Fermi temperature, and comment on the result.

Suppose that the concentration of infrared-absorbing gases in earth's atmosphere were to double, effectively creating a second "blanket" to warm the surface. Estimate the equilibrium surface temperature of the earth that would result from this catastrophe. (Hint: First show that the lower atmospheric blanket is warmer than the upper one by a factor of 21/4. The surface is warmer than the lower blanket by a smaller factor.)

In analogy with the previous problem, consider a system of identical spin0bosonstrapped in a region where the energy levels are evenly spaced. Assume that Nis a large number, and again let qbe the number of energy units.

(a) Draw diagrams representing all allowed system states from q=0up to q=6.Instead of using dots as in the previous problem, use numbers to indicate the number of bosons occupying each level.

(b) Compute the occupancy of each energy level, for q=6. Draw a graph of the occupancy as a function of the energy at each level.

(c) Estimate values of and Tthat you would have to plug into the Bose-Einstein distribution to best fit the graph of part(b).

(d) As in part (d) of the previous problem, draw a graph of entropy vs energy and estimate the temperature at q=6from this graph.

Consider an isolated system of Nidentical fermions, inside a container where the allowed energy levels are nondegenerate and evenly spaced.* For instance, the fermions could be trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. For simplicity, neglect the fact that fermions can have multiple spin orientations (or assume that they are all forced to have the same spin orientation). Then each energy level is either occupied or unoccupied, and any allowed system state can be represented by a column of dots, with a filled dot representing an occupied level and a hollow dot representing an unoccupied level. The lowest-energy system state has all levels below a certain point occupied, and all levels above that point unoccupied. Let be the spacing between energy levels, and let be the number of energy units (each of size 11) in excess of the ground-state energy. Assume thatq<N. Figure 7 .8 shows all system states up to q=3.

(a) Draw dot diagrams, as in the figure, for all allowed system states with q=4,q=5,andq=6. (b) According to the fundamental assumption, all allowed system states with a given value of q are equally probable. Compute the probability of each energy level being occupied, for q=6. Draw a graph of this probability as a function of the energy of the level. ( c) In the thermodynamic limit where qis large, the probability of a level being occupied should be given by the Fermi-Dirac distribution. Even though 6 is not a large number, estimate the values of and T that you would have to plug into the Fermi-Dirac distribution to best fit the graph you drew in part (b).

A representation of the system states of a fermionic sytern with evenly spaced, nondegen erate energy levels. A filled dot rep- resents an occupied single-particle state, while a hollow dot represents an unoccupied single-particle state . {d) Calculate the entropy of this system for each value of q from 0to6, and draw a graph of entropy vs. energy. Make a rough estimate of the slope of this graph near q=6, to obtain another estimate of the temperature of this system at that point. Check that it is in rough agreement with your answer to part ( c).
