Thermal Radiation: Black Body, Stefan & Wien

Black sphere of radius R radiates power P at certain temperature TT. If the temperature is doubled, the radius gets doubled. Now the power radiated would be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. P=σ(4πR2)T4⇒P∝R2T4P = \sigma(4\pi R^2)T^4 \Rightarrow P \propto R^2T^4
  2. P′P=22×24=64\dfrac{P'}{P} = 2^2\times2^4 = 64
  3. So the answer is (d) 64 P.
