The total radiant energy per unit area, normal to the direction of incidence, received at a distance from the centre of a star of radius , whose outer surface radiates as a black body at a temperature is given by
(where is Stefan's constant)
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
If is the radius of the star and its temperature, then the energy emitted by the star per second through radiation in accordance with Stefan's law will be given by
In reaching a distance this energy will spread over a sphere of radius ; so the intensity of radiation will be given by
S=
