Electromagnetic radiation — UPSC IFoS 2010 Physics PYQ
Buy PYQ Solution Manual →The following inputs are given :
\begin{align*} T_0 &= 5500\text{ K} && \text{(Sun surface temperature)}, \\ R &= 7 \times 10^{10}\text{ cm} && \text{(Sun radius)}, \\ r &= 6\cdot 4 \times 10^8\text{ cm} && \text{(Earth radius)}, \\ D &= 1\cdot 5 \times 10^{13}\text{ cm} && \text{(Sun--Earth distance)}. \end{align*}
Assume that the earth and the sun both absorb all electromagnetic radiations incident on them, and that the earth is at a constant temperature T over the day-night cycle. Calculate T.
