A 4-cm-diameter cylindrical enclosure with black surfaces, as shown in the accompanying sketch, has a 2-cm hole in the top cover. Assuming the walls of the enclosure are at the same temperature, determine the percentage of the total radiation emitted from the walls that escapes through the hole in the cover.



GIVEN

• Cylindrical enclosure of black surfaces shown above

• Cylinder diameter (D) = 4 cm = 0.04 m

• Diameter of hole in top (Dh) = 2 cm = 0.02 m

FIND

• The percentage of the total radiation emitted from the wall which will escape through the hole in the cover (Fe4).

ASSUMPTIONS

• The walls of the enclosure are at the same temperature


The total area of the interior of the enclosure (Ae) is



The shape factor between A4 and the enclosure is unity F4e = 1.

How does the idea of inflation account for the existence of the "seeds" of density from which galaxies and other large structures formed?

A) Inflation predicts that gravity would have been very strong and thereby would have concentrated mass into seeds. B) Inflation would have caused random, microscopic quantum fluctuations to grow so large in size that they became the seeds of structure. C) Inflation predicts that temperatures and densities should have become nearly equal throughout the universe. D) Inflation tells us that the universe should have a "flat" overall geometry, and this led to the flat disks of galaxies.
