A black body at a temperature T radiates energy at the rate of E Wm ⁻² . If the temperature is decreased by T / 2 , then the energy radiated will be
Options
- AE / 4
- BE / 16
- CE / 8
- DE / 32
Correct answer
B. E / 16
Step-by-step solution
According to Stefan's law, Energy radiated E T⁴ array ll & E^ E = T^ T = ( T 2 )⁴ T⁴ = 1 2⁴ = 1 16 or & E^ = E 16 array
