[UPSC CSE 2004] Black Body Radiation (Q477, 20M)
Given the temperature of the Sun's surface T = 5755\text{ K}, radius of the Sun 6.9 \times 10^5\text{ km}, distance between the Earth and the Sun 1.5 \times 10^8\text{ km}. Estimate the solar constant (i.e. the energy received per sec per unit area of the Eath's surface). Assume \sigma = 5.7 \times 10^{-8}\text{ W/m}^2\text{-K}^4.
