Compute the wavelength of light that has the maximum intensity for the light bulb described in the previous problem( The previous problem was: Estimate the surface area of the tungsten filament of a 100-Wlight bulb if the filament is heated to 2500 K (Kelvin)) consider now making a beam of photons at this same wavelength. How many photons per second will be in the beam assuming the total power is 100 W, as is the case of the light bulb? Please show you work and explain in details?

Solar Sail
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
A solar sail allows a spacecraft to use radiation pressure for propulsion, similar to the way wind propels a sailboat. The sails of such spacecraft are made out of enormous reflecting panels. The area of the panels is maximized to catch the largest number of incident photons, thus maximizing the momentum transfer from the incident radiation.
For such spacecraft to work, the force from the radiation pressure exerted by the photons must be greater than the gravitational attraction to the star emitting the photons. The critical parameter is the area density (mass per unit area) of the sail.
To solve the second part of this problem you will need to know the following:
Isun(R) = 3.2 x10251/R2 (W/m2)
