My space capsul floats at a distance of R=1.8 x 10^11 m from the sun. i have a solar panel that is 5m by 10m. the sun releases energy as light with a power of 3.845 x 10^26 W.
a.) what is the intesnity of the sunlight at 1.8 x 10^11m from the sun
b.) what is the amplitude of the electric field of this light
c.) what is the amplitude of the magentic field of this light
d.) if my 10m by 5m solar panel absorbs all light that hits it and is perfectly efficient, how much power does it supply me
e.)what is the raditaion pressure of the sunlight at my location
f.)what force will the radiation pressure apply to my solar panel
g.)what would be the force if it were a mirror rather than a solar panel Part B My porhole has a window that is a polarizing filter and i am wearing polarizing sunglasses. when i tilt my head 20 degrees it creats a situation as pictured.
h) in terms of intensity of the unpolarized light, Io, what are IA and IB ?
