Thermal Radiation: Black Body, Stefan & Wien

A black rectangular surface of area 'A' emits energy 'E' per second at 27∘27^\circ C. If length and breadth is reduced to half of its initial value and temperature is raised to 327∘327^\circC then energy emitted per second becomes

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. E∝AT4E \propto A T^4.
  2. Length and breadth halved: A→A4A \to \frac{A}{4}.
  3. T:300 K→600 KT: 300\text{ K} \to 600\text{ K}, factor 1616.
  4. E′=164E=4EE' = \frac{16}{4}E = 4E, so the answer is (b).
