Thermal Radiation: Black Body, Stefan & Wien

Two bodies AA and BB at temperatures 'T1T_1' K\text{K} and 'T2T_2' K\text{K} respectively have the same dimensions. Their emissivities are in the ratio 1:31 : 3. If they radiate the same amount of heat per unit area per unit time, then the ratio of their temperatures (T1:T2)(T_1 : T_2) is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Same heat per unit area per unit time: e1T14=e2T24e_1 T_1^4 = e_2 T_2^4.
  2. (T1T2)4=e2e1=3\left(\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^4 = \dfrac{e_2}{e_1} = 3
  3. T1T2=31/4\dfrac{T_1}{T_2} = 3^{1/4}
  4. So the answer is (b) 31/4:13^{1/4} : 1.
