•Q7 1 kg of H fused into He. How much energy is liberated?
Use E = mc2, but must
determine how much mass is
converted. We learned in class
that 4.3 ´ 10-12 J
released for each He produced. He masses 6.645
´ 10-27 kg, so we have 1.5x1026 He in a kg, each producing the above energy. Multiply the energy per He times number of He = 1.5x1026 x 4.3 ´ 10-12 J
= 6.4x1014 J
•Q9 Sunspot brightness, use E = σT4
•(T1/T2)4 = (5800/4200)4 = 3.6 times brighter
