Compare the costs of generating electricity using solar energy in different parts of the united states. a. (5 points) let us consider a simple 25.m2 rooftop installation of crystalline-silicon (c-si) pv modules. now remember that pv modules are rated to receive 1kw/m2 of solar radiation. assuming peak solar irradiation of 1 kw/m22, what would the peak output of this system be (in kw) if the modules are 16% efficient? b. (10 points) compute the annualized cost for this type of pv module (in $/year), assuming for simplicity that operating costs can be ignored. assume a 6.0% discount rate and 25-year lifetime. initial cost unit value ($) module cost $/watt 2.20 permitting and inspection cost $/watt 0.25 installation labor cost $/watt 0.90 inverter cost $/watt 0.50 c. (10 points) now, consider how much electricity our pv system from part (a) will actually be able to generate in different cities based on variation in insolation levels. calculate the annual electricity generated by our pv system and the levelized cost of solar energy in san francisco, ca (2,500 kwh/m2-year); new york city, ny (1,600 kwh/m2-year); detroit, mi(1,500 kwh/m2-year); and flagstaff, az(3,200 kwh/m2-year). d. (5 points) calculate the simple payback period for your solar system in san francisco. assume that your household consumes 15,000kwh/year.

The mass of a muon is 207 times the electron mass; the average lifetime of muons at rest is 2.21 μs. in a certain experiment, muons moving through a laboratory are measured to have an average lifetime of 7.04 μs. for the moving muons, what are (a) β (b) k, and (c) p? the rest energy of the electron is 0.511 mev.

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
