Chapter 18: Problem 9

Which of the following does not radiate heat? a) ice cube b) liquid nitrogen c) liquid helium d) a device at \(T=0.010 \mathrm{~K}\) e) all of the above f) none of the above

Short Answer

Expert verified
a) Ice Cube b) Liquid Nitrogen c) Liquid Helium d) Device at T = 0.010 K e) All of the Above f) None of the Above Answer: None of the options meet the criterion of not radiating heat, as they are all at temperatures above absolute zero.

Step by step solution

01

Option a: Ice Cube

Ice cubes are at a temperature of around 273 K (0°C), and since they are above absolute zero, they will emit thermal radiation according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Therefore, they do radiate heat.
02

Option b: Liquid Nitrogen

Liquid nitrogen has a boiling point of 77 K and is a cooling agent. It is also above absolute zero, which means it radiates heat, albeit at a relatively low rate compared to high-temperature objects.
03

Option c: Liquid Helium

Liquid helium has a boiling point of about 4.2 K. Even though this is extremely close to absolute zero, it is still above it, so it does emit thermal radiation, although at a very low rate.
04

Option d: Device at T = 0.010 K

The device with a temperature of 0.010 K is extremely close to absolute zero, but not quite there, so it still radiates a small amount of thermal radiation.
05

Option e: All of the Above

Since options a through d do radiate heat, option e is incorrect.
06

Option f: None of the Above

Option f would be correct if none of the given options were true. However, since Options a, b, c, and d do radiate heat, this option is also incorrect. To summarize, all of the options given radiate heat to some extent because they are at temperatures above absolute zero. As a result, none of the options meet the criterion of not radiating heat.

Arthur Clarke wrote an interesting short story called "A Slight Case of Sunstroke." Disgruntled football fans came to the stadium one day equipped with mirrors and were ready to barbecue the referee if he favored one team over the other. Imagine the referee to be a cylinder filled with water of mass \(60.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) at \(35.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Also imagine that this cylinder absorbs all the light reflected on it from 50,000 mirrors. If the heat capacity of water is \(4.20 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} /\left(\mathrm{kg}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right),\) how long will it take to raise the temperature of the water to \(100 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ? Assume that the Sun gives out \(1.00 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2},\) the dimensions of each mirror are \(25.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) by \(25.0 \mathrm{~cm},\) and the mirrors are held at an angle of \(45.0^{\circ}\)

Several days after the end of a snowstorm, the roof of one house is still completely covered with snow, and another house's roof has no snow cover. Which house is most likely better insulated?

A cryogenic storage container holds liquid helium, which boils at \(4.2 \mathrm{~K}\). Suppose a student painted the outer shell of the container black, turning it into a pseudoblackbody, and that the shell has an effective area of \(0.50 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) and is at \(3.0 \cdot 10^{2} \mathrm{~K}\). a) Determine the rate of heat loss due to radiation. b) What is the rate at which the volume of the liquid helium in the container decreases as a result of boiling off? The latent heat of vaporization of liquid helium is \(20.9 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} .\) The density of liquid helium is \(0.125 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{L}\).
