NEET2017PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
A spherical black body with a radius of 12   cm radiates 450   W power at 500   K . If the radius were halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watt would be
Options
- A225
- B450
- C1000
- D1800
Correct answer
D. 1800
Step-by-step solution
By Stefan's law rate of heat radiation from a black body = σ A T 4 ⇒ Rate of power loss r ∝ R 2 T 4 r 1 r 2 = R 1 2 T 1 4 R 2 2 T 2 4 = 4 × 1 16 450 r 2 = 1 4 r 2 = 1800 w a t t
