Question
A spherical black body with a radius of 12 cm radiates 450 W power at 50 K. If the radius was halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watt would be:
Options:
A .  225
B .  450
C .  900
D .  1800
Answer: Option D
:
D
The energy radiated per second by a black body is given by Stefan's Law as Et=σT2×A where A is the surface area of the black body
EtσT4×4πr2
Since black body is a sphere, (A=4πr2).
Case(i)
Et=450,T=500K,r=0.12m,
450=4πσ(500)4(0.12)2 .....(i)
Case(ii)
Et=?,T=1000K,r=0.06m,
dividing (ii) and (I) we get,
Et450=(1000)4(0.06)2(500)4(0.12)2=2422=4
Et=450×4=1800W
(d) is the correct option.
