Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(6 \times 10^{-8}\) Pascals
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{2 I}{\mathrm{C}}\)
Where \(\mathrm{I}=\) intensity at surface
\(\mathrm{C}=\) Speed of light
\(\begin{aligned}
& I=\frac{\text { Power }}{\text { Area }}=\frac{450}{4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2} \\
& =\frac{450}{4 \pi \times 4}=\frac{450}{16 \pi} \\
& P_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{2 \times 450}{16 \pi \times 3 \times 10^8}=\frac{150}{8 \pi \times 10^8}
\end{aligned}\)
\(=5.97 \times 10^{-8} \approx 6 \times 10^{-8}\) Pascals
