The intensity is defined as the ratio between the power emitted by the source and the area through which the power is calculated:
(1)
where
P is the power
A is the area
In our problem, the intensity is
. At a distance of r=6.0 m from the source, the area intercepted by the radiation (which propagates in all directions) is equal to the area of a sphere of radius r, so:
And so if we re-arrange (1) we find the power emitted by the source:
where
P is the power
A is the area
In our problem, the intensity is
And so if we re-arrange (1) we find the power emitted by the source:
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the heat flux rate expressed in energetic terms. The rate of heat flow is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material. Mathematically it can be expressed as:
Where
k = 0.84 J/s⋅m⋅°C (The thermal conductivity of the material)
Area
Length
= Temperature of the "hot"reservoir
= Temperature of the "cold"reservoir
Replacing with our values we have that,
Therefore the correct answer is B.
