CAIE A-Level Physics A2 25.1.2 The Inverse Square Law for Radiant Flux Intensity F Topic Practice

Question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

A star of luminosity 3.8×1031 W3.8 \times 10^{31} \mathrm{~W} is a distance of 1.8×1024 m1.8 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{~m} from the Earth.

Calculate the radiant flux intensity at the Earth of the radiation emitted by the star.
radiant flux intensity = Wm−2\mathrm{Wm}^{-2}
