Question 6: If star A has a temperature of 4000
Kelvin and star B has a temperature of twice that, or 8000 Kelvin,
how much more energy does it radiate per second than star A?
From the
Steffan-Boltzmann Law, we know that for the radiated energy, E goes as T to the 4th
power, so 24 = 16 times
Question 8: The thickness of a plastic
freezer storage bag is roughly 0.1 mm. How many wavelengths of red light is this?
0.1mm/7000Angstroms = 140.
