According to Stefan's law of radiation, a black body radiates energy σT 4 from its unit surface area every second where T is the surface temperature of the black body and σ = 5.67 * 10-8 W/m2K4 is known as Stefan's constant. A nuclear weapon may be thought of as a ball of radius 0.5 m. When detonated, it reaches temperature of 106K and can be treated as a black body.

(a) Estimate the power it radiates.

(b) If surrounding has water at 30 C° , how much water can 10% of the energy produced evaporate in 1 s?  Sw 4186.0 J/kg K and Lv 22.6 * 10 5 J / k g

(c) If all this energy U is in the form of radiation, corresponding momentum is p = U/c. How much momentum per unit time does it impart on unit area at a distance of 1 km?

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

(a) Power radiated by stefan's law

P= σ A T 4 = ( 4 π R2)T4

= 5.67 * 10 - 4 * 4 * 3.14 * 0.5 2 * 10 6 * 4

= 1.78 * 10 17 J / s =1.8 * 10 17 J / s

(b) Energy available per second U= 1.8 * 10 17 J / s = 18 * 10 16J/s

Actual energy required to evaporate water = 10%of 18 * 10 17 j / s

=1.8 * 10 16 J/s

Energy used per second to raise the temperature of
