A solar sail is made of aluminized Mylar having an emissivity of 0.03 and reflecting 98% of the light that falls on it. Suppose a sail with area 1.50km2 is oriented so that sunlight falls perpendicular to its surface with an intensity of 1.40103Wm2. To what temperature will it warm before it emits as much energy (from both sides) by radiation as it absorbs on the sunny side? Assume the saill is so thin that the temperature is uniform and ne energy is emitted from the.edges . Take the environment temperature to be 0 K .
