The bright star Sirius A has a diameter 1.6 times the
sun's and surface temperature 9600 K . (a) What is the
peak wavelength of radiation emitted from the surface? (Note: Sirius has a distinctive blue tint when
viewed with the naked eye.) (b) Find the net power
output from the surface of Sirius A and compare with
that from the sun.

To find peak wavelength of radiation, λmax , emitted from the surface of Sirius A, we can
use Wien's displacement law. We have
λmax T = 2.898 ⋅ 10−3 mK
2.898 ⋅ 10−3 mK
λmax =
T
2.898 ⋅ 10−3 mK
λmax =
9600 K
λmax = 3.01 ⋅ 10−7 m
λmax = 301 nm .

Using Stefan-Boltzmann's law we can find power per unit area emitted from star Sirius A
(we assume here that star Sirius A is a perfect blackbody with ϵ = 1)

RSirius A = σϵTSirius A
RSirius A = 5.67 ⋅ 10−8 W/(m2 K4 )(9600 K)4

RSirius A = 4.8 ⋅ 10 W/m .
This is power emitted per unit area, so we have to find area of Sirius A. Problem states
that Sirius A has a diameter 1.6 times the Sun's. Sun has diameter of dSun = 1391000 km
, so Sirius A has diameter of dSirius A = 2225600 km. Then, area of Sirius A is

2782000000 m

ASirius A = 1.55 ⋅ 1019 m2 .
Combining equations (1) and (2) we get net power output from the surface of Sirius A as
PSirius A
RSirius A =
ASirius A
PSirius A = RSirius A ASirius A
(3)
PSirius A = 4.8 ⋅ 108 W/m2 ⋅ 1.55 ⋅ 1019 m2
PSirius A = 7.44 ⋅ 1027 W .

To compare power output from surface of Sirius A to the power output of Sun, we must
first calculate power output form surface of the Sun. Surface of the Sun have the
temperature of 5800 K. Similar to calculation of power output from surface of Sirius A, we
have power output from surface of the Sun as (we assume that the Sun is perfect
blackbody with ϵ = 1)
PThe Sun = RThe Sun AThe Sun

PThe Sun = σϵ(TThe Sun ) ⋅ 4 ⋅ π ( )

PThe Sun = 3.9 ⋅ 1026 W.
Comparing results (3) and (4) we have
PSirius A 7.44 ⋅ 1027 W
= ≈ 19.

PThe Sun
So, power output from surface of Sirius A is about 19 times greater that power output
from surface of the Sun.
Resultado 4 de 4
a.) λmax = 301 nm,
b.) PSirius A = 7.44 ⋅ 1027 W, which is around 19 times greater that power output from
the surface of the Sun.
