The average intensity of the solar radiation that strikes normally on a surface just outside Earth's atmosphere is 1.4 kW/m2 .

Someone plans to float a small, totally absorbing sphere 0.500 m above an isotropic point source of light, so that the upward ...

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 1.0 MW. What is the intensity of the ...
