Which TWO forms of light account for the majority of energy coming from the Sun: ultraviolet, visible, or infrared? Which of the three accounts for the least energy? Provide numbers to support your answer. 2) Consider the following debate between two students regarding the energy given off by the Student 1: I think that the Sun gives off most of its energy at ultraviolet wavelengths because ultraviolet light is more intense than visible light and you always hear about ultraviolet light causing sunburns. Student 2: Even though UV photons are more energetic than visible photons, the Sun simply gives off fewer ultraviolet photons and gives off way more visible and infrared photons. So I think that these longer wavelength photons account for most of the energy coming from the Sun. Do you agree or disagree with either or both of these students? Explain your reasoning.

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i. e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i. e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
