If we consider solar system consisting of the earth and sun only as one of the ideal thermodynamic system. The sun works as source of energy having temperature $6000\ K$ and the earth as sink having temperature $300K$, the efficiency of solar system would be on the basis of exchange of radiations

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

(d) $T_{1} = 6000\ K,\ T_{2} = 300\ K$
$\eta = 1 - \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 1 - \frac{300}{6000} = 0.95 \Rightarrow 95\%$
