Thermal Radiation: Black Body, Stefan & Wien

A black rectangular surface of area A emits energy E per second at 127∘127^\circ C. If length and breadth is reduced to half of initial value and temperature is raised to 527∘527^\circ C then energy emitted becomes

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. E∝AT4E \propto A T^4.
  2. Length and breadth halved: A→A4A \to \frac{A}{4}.
  3. T:400 K→800 KT: 400\text{ K} \to 800\text{ K}, factor 1616.
  4. E′=164E=4EE' = \frac{16}{4}E = 4E, so the answer is (c).
