How many watts do you get from a square meter of solar panels?
The amount of power you get depends on a number of factors, including the efficiency of the solar panels. Ideally, the energy of sunlight would be about 1366 watts per square meter, but losses do to such things as the atmosphere reduce this to a practical limit of about 1000 watts. If a solar panel of one meter is 10% efficient, then this means you would get about 100 watts. New technologies are achieving efficiencies approaching 50%, which would produce 500 watts; but some older panels were only 6% efficient. Since you ask about watts, I am assuming you mean photovoltaic panels. Solar thermal collectors are more efficient, but do not produce electricity.
What kind of light describes how many watts of power fall cross one square meter of area?
That's not a special kind of light - you can do that with any light. The power per area (e.g., watts per square meter is a measure of INTENSITY.
What is the dimensional formula of intensity of wave?
Power / area is often used (watts / square meter, in SI units). Power, in turn, is energy / time.
What is the amount of energy in infrared waves?
Sunlight at zenith provides an irradiance of just over 1 kilowatt per square meter at sea level. Of this energy, 527 watts is infrared radiation, 445 watts is visible light, and 32 watts is ultraviolet radiation.[2] So I think it's 527 watts
How many kilowats are in the sun?
Total power output of the sun: 3.86 x 1023 kilowatts (386,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilowatts) Total solar power received on Earth: 1.74 x 1014 kilowatts (174,000,000,000,000 kilowatts) Solar power falling on 1 square meter of ground: 750 watts (0.75 kilowatt) Output of a 1 square meter solar panel: 120 watts (0.12 kilowatt)
How many watts in one squar meter?
None. Watts is unit of power. Square meter is unit of area.

How many watts in one square meter?
Watts is a unit of power (energy per time). Square meter is a unit of area (length squared). These units are not convertible between each other.
What is measured in watts per square meter?
Light intensity or irradiance
What kind of light describes how many watts of power fall cross one square meter of area?
That's not a special kind of light - you can do that with any light. The power per area (e.g., watts per square meter is a measure of INTENSITY.
How much solar energy does the sun give out?
About 1,000 watts per square meter of solar panel
How much energy (watts) from the sun reaches every square meters of the earth?
The earth receives an average of 164 watts per square meter from the sun. This is the average spread over the world including poles and tropics, night and day. The energy in units used commonly in commerce (kilowatt-hours) would be about 45 millionths of a kilowatt hour per second per square meter. More important is the calculation of how much usable energy reaches the ground where the energy could be put into use. At 40 degrees latitude (the rough middle of the US) during the 8 peak hours of the daylight, each square meter will receive about 4.8 kilowatt hours.
What is the nit to measure the energy or intensity of sound?
Energy: joulesPerhaps you mean power: that would be joules/second = watts Intensity is measured in watts per square meter.
How much energy is radiated by the sun on 1 meter square of the earth surface in Canada?
In the uk, approximately 1000 Watts per square metre
What instrument measures watts?
A watt meter will measure watts.
What units are used to measure sound intensity?
Sound intensity is measured in watts per square meters, but our eardrums are only moved by the sound pressure measured in newtons per square meters or pascals.
What is the square root of the meter of square?
The square root of meter squared is meter.
