HELLLPPP MEEEEE PLSSSS BRANLIEST ANSWER WILL BE AWAREDED Prepare a report on how is solar energy used in scientific experiments.

Answer:

SOLAR ENERGY

Our primary source of clean, abundant energy is the sun. The sun deposits 120,000 TW of

radiation on the surface of the Earth, far exceeding human needs even in the most aggressive

energy demand scenarios. The sun is Earth’s natural power source, driving the circulation of

global wind and ocean currents, the cycle of water evaporation and condensation that creates

rivers and lakes, and the biological cycles of photosynthesis and life. Covering 0.16% of the land

on Earth with 10% efficient solar conversion systems would provide 20 TW of power, nearly

twice the world’s consumption rate of fossil energy and the equivalent 20,000 1-GWe nuclear

fission plants. These comparisons illustrate the impressive magnitude of the solar resource,

providing an energy stream far more potent than present-day human technology can achieve.

All routes for utilizing solar energy exploit the functional steps of capture, conversion, and

storage. The sun’s energy arrives on Earth as radiation distributed across the color spectrum

from infrared to ultraviolet. The energy of this radiation must be captured as excited electronhole pairs in a semiconductor, a dye, or a chromophore, or as heat in a thermal storage medium.

Excited electrons and holes can be tapped off for immediate conversion to electrical power, or

transferred to biological or chemical molecules for conversion to fuel. Natural photosynthesis

produces fuel in the form of sugars and other carbohydrates derived from the reduction of CO2 in

the atmosphere and used to power the growth of plants. The plants themselves become available as biomass for combustion as primary fuels or for conversion in reactors to secondary fuels like

liquid ethanol or gaseous carbon monoxide, methane, and hydrogen. We are now learning to

mimic the natural photosynthetic process in the laboratory using artificial molecular assemblies,

where the excited electrons and holes can drive chemical reactions to produce fuels that link to

our existing energy networks. Atmospheric CO2 can be reduced to ethanol or methane, or water

can be split to create hydrogen. These fuels are the storage media for solar energy, bridging the

natural day-night, winter-summer, and cloudy-sunny cycles of solar radiation.

In addition to electric and chemical conversion routes, solar radiation can be converted to heat

energy. Solar concentrators focus sunlight collected over a large area to a line or spot where heat

is collected in an absorber. Temperatures as high as 3,000°C can be generated to drive chemical

reactions, or heat can be collected at lower temperatures and transferred to a thermal storage

medium like water for distributed space heating or steam to drive an engine. Effective storage of

solar energy as heat requires developing thermal storage media that accumulate heat efficiently

during sunny periods and release heat slowly during dark or cloudy periods. Heat is one of the

most versatile forms of energy, the common link in nearly all our energy networks. Solar thermal

conversion can replace much of the heat now supplied by fossil fuel.

Although many routes use solar energy to produce electricity, fuel, and heat, none are currently

competitive with fossil fuels for a combination of cost, reliability, and performance. Solar

electricity from photovoltaics is too costly, by factors of 5–10, to compete with fossil-derived

electricity, and is too costly by factors of 25–50 to compete with fossil fuel as a primary energy

source. Solar fuels in the form of biomass produce electricity and heat at costs that are within

range of fossil fuels, but their production capacity is limited. The low efficiency with which they

convert sunlight to stored energy means large land areas are required. To produce the full 13 TW

of power used by the planet, nearly all the arable land on Earth would need to be planted with

switchgrass, the fastest-growing energy crop. Artificial photosynthetic systems are promising

routes for converting solar energy to fuels, but they are still in the laboratory stage where the

principles of their assembly and functionality are being explored. Solar thermal systems provide

the lowest-cost solar electricity at the present time, but require large areas in the Sun Belt and

breakthroughs in materials to become economically competitive with fossil energy as a primary

energy source. While solar energy has enormous promise as a clean, abundant, economical

energy source, it presents formidable basic research challenges in designing materials and in

understanding the electronic and molecular basis of capture, conversion, and storage before its

promise can be realized.

PLZ HURRY 50 POINTS!!! Will report if wrong. Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.

[BRUTUS.] Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar,
I have not known when his affections swayed
More than his reason. But &lquo;tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend. So Caesar may.
Then lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel
Will bear no colour for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
Would run to these and these extremities;
And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg
Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous,
And kill him in the shell.

B) “But 'tis a common proof / That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder”

D) “And since the quarrel / Will bear no colour for the thing he is”
