Условие
A supernova is triggered largely by neutrinos. In fact, 99% of the energy coming from the supernova is released in form of neutrinos. Over a time span of about three months, the supernova outputs visible light with power equivalent to 10 billion Suns. Assuming supernova neutrinos have mean energy of around 10 MeV, that all the power of the supernova is released during the time it is visible, and that all of the power released is released in the form of either visible light or neutrinos, estimate the number of neutrinos released.

Solution: Estimating the Luminosity of the supernova:
The luminosity in neutrinos is then:
Therefore, if we multiply this by the total amount of time and divide by the energy of the neutrino, we get the number of neutrinos:
Answer: D
