question 4b
- Relevant Equations
- inverse sqaure law
intensity= power/ area ???
https://pmt.physicsandmathstutor.co...e 2016 MS - Unit 5-2A AQA Physics A-level.pdf
One question on this the mark scheme seems to skip this step as the intensity is Power per unit area ,
when you make I sun = I quaser * 4*10^17 and you plug in the values for power per unit area would the 4 pies cancel each other out
so P/4pieD^2 = ( P*4*10^11/4pieD^2 ) * 4* 10^12 ?
one final question on this when using the intensity equation should i assume the distance from a point to the emitting source of radiation affected by the inverse square law is a giant circle essentially ? As they want the distance from Earth to the quaser would that mean that the P/ 4pie D^2 value the D value is the distance of the two objects not the surface area of the star or object ?
