Suppose that the total surface area of a human body is and it emits radiation like an ideal radiator. Determine the amount of energy radiated per second by the body if the body temperature is 37^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}. The Stefan constant is taken as .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Given, surface area
Temperature T = 37^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} = 37 + 273 = 310 \text{ K}
Stefan constant
Since the body acts as an ideal radiator, emissivity .
The amount of energy radiated per second is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann law:
Substituting the given values:
Rounding to the nearest integer, we get .
Temperature T = 37^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} = 37 + 273 = 310 \text{ K}
Stefan constant
Since the body acts as an ideal radiator, emissivity .
The amount of energy radiated per second is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann law:
Substituting the given values:
Rounding to the nearest integer, we get .
