What is the maximum distance from which a python can detect your presence?

A python can detect thermal radiation with intensity greater than 0.60 W/m^2. A typical human body has a surface area of 1.8 m^2, a surface temperature of 30 C, and an emissivity e = 0.97 at infrared wavelengths. You can model the human body as a point source of radiation.

I have gotten 10.5 m (rounded to 11 m) and 0.38 m so those aren't correct.

I am using Q/dt = e(sigma)AT^4 and I = Psource/4*pi*r^2. What am I missing in these equations? I don't want an answer, just an explanation.

Explanation / Answer

multiply your answer by 2. idk why but that what i did, maybe they need the diameter
