Answer to Question #128908 in Physical Chemistry for Sunny

Question

The intensity distribution of solar radiation peaks at a wavelength of approximately 500 nm. Assuming the Sun radiates like a black body, calculate the flux of photons leaving the sun in W/m2?

Answer 1

$\lambda(\mu m)=\frac{2900}{T}$

T=5800 K

the flux of photons leaving the sun = 64164532 W/m²
