Question

(a) A star's temperature is 4951 K.According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, how much energy is radiatedinto space per second by each square meter of the star's surface?
---------J

(b) If the star's radius is 641,000 km, what is the totalpower output of the star?
--------W

Explanation / Answer

From stefan Boltzmann law

           Q= T4

              = (5.67*10-8 ) (4951K)4 = 34*106J

(b) Q/t =   T4 A=  T4 ( r2 ) =(5.67*10-8 ) (4951)4 ( 3.14*6.41*108 )

solve it
