Chapter 11, Problem 11.90(choose chapter or problem)
A solar sail is made of aluminized Mylar having an emissiv-itv of 0.03 and reflecting 97% of die light that falls on it. Suppose a sail with area 1.00 km- is oriented so that sunlight falls perpendicular to its surface with an intensity of 1.40 X 1 O W/m2. To what temperature will it warm before it emits as much energy (from both sides) by radiation as it absorbs on the sunny side? Assume the sail is so thin that the temperature is uniform and no energy is emitted from the edges. Take the environment to be 0 K.
