Chapter 20 Problem 11

Question

Star A has twice the radius and twice the absolute surfacetemperature of star B. The emissivity of both starscan be assumed to be 1. What is the ratio of the poweroutput of star A to that of star B? (a) 4 (b) 8 (c) 16(d) 32 (e) 64

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 20 problem number 11 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Star A has twice the radius and twice the absolute surfacetemperature of star B. The emissivity of both starscan be assumed to be 1. What is the ratio of the poweroutput of star A to that of star B? (a) 4 (b) 8 (c) 16(d) 32 (e) 64
From the textbook chapter The First Law of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
