An intense light source radiates uniformly in all directions. At a distance of5.0 m from the source, the radiation pressure on a perfectly absorbing surface is 9.0×10-6Pa. What is the total average power output of the source?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total average power output of the source is 8.47×105W.

Step by step solution

01

Define the intensity (l) and the radiation pressure (prad).

The power transported per unit area is known as the intensity (l).

The formula used to calculate the intensityis:

l=PA

Where, A is area measured in the direction perpendicular to the energy and P is the power in watts.

The average force per unit area due to the wave is known as radiation pressure prad. Radiation pressure is the average dp/dtdivided by the absorbing area A.

The formula for radiation pressure pradof the wave totally absorbed light is:

prad=lC

The formula for radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected light is:

prad=2lC

Where, l is the intensity in W/m2and c is the speed of light that is equal to 3.0×108m/s.

02

Determine the average power.

Given that,

r=5mprad=9×10-6Pa

Consider the path of the source to be a sphere.

So, the area of source is

A=4Ï€°ù2=4Ï€52=314m2

Now, the average power output intensity of source is

p = lA .......(1)

Substitute I=cpradin equation

P=(cprad)A .......(2)

Substitute the values of c,pradand in equation

P=3×1089×10-6314=2700×314=8.47×105W

Hence, the average power is equal to 8.47×105W.

A 140-g ball containing excess electrons is dropped into a 110-m vertical shaft. At the bottom of the shaft, the ball suddenly enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field that has magnitude 0.300 T and direction from east to west. If air resistance is negligibly small, find the magnitude ond direction of the force that this magnetic field exerts on the ball just as it enters the field.

BIO Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric

signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a

sudden rush of Na+ions, each with charge +e, into the axon. Measurements

have revealed that typically about 5.6×1011Na+ions enter each meter of the

axon during a time of . What is the current during this inflow of charge

in a meter of axon?
