If a black body emits $0.5 \ J$ of energy per second when it is at $27^{\circ} C$,then the amount of energy emitted by it when it is at $627^{\circ} C$ will be (in $J$)

Two spheres made of the same material have radii in the ratio $1:2$. Both are at the same temperature. The ratio of heat radiation energy emitted per second by them is:

$A$ body of area $1\, cm^2$ is heated to a temperature $1000\, K$. The amount of energy radiated by the body in $1\, second$ is .......... $Joule$ (Stefan's constant $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8}\, W\, m^{-2}K^{-4}$)

$A$ human body has a surface area of approximately $1 \,m^2$. The normal body temperature is $10 \,K$ above the surrounding room temperature $T_0$. Take the room temperature to be $T_0=300 \,K$. For $T_0=300 \,K$, and the value of $\sigma T_0^4=460 \,W/m^2$ (where $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant). Which of the following option(s) is/are correct?
[$A$] The amount of energy radiated by the body in $1 \,s$ is close to $60 \,J$.
[$B$] If the surrounding temperature reduces by a small amount $\Delta T_0 < < T_0$, then to maintain the same body temperature the same (living) human being needs to radiate $\Delta W = 4 \sigma T_0^3 \Delta T_0$ more energy per unit time.
[$C$] Reducing the exposed surface area of the body (e.g., by curling up) allows humans to maintain the same body temperature while reducing the energy lost by radiation.
[$D$] If the body temperature rises significantly, then the peak in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the body would shift to longer wavelengths.

$A$ black body of mass $34.38 \ g$ and surface area $19.2 \ cm^2$ is at an initial temperature of $400 \ K$. It is allowed to cool inside an evacuated enclosure kept at a constant temperature of $300 \ K$. The rate of cooling is $0.04 \ ^{\circ}C/s$. The specific heat of the body in $J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ is (Stefan's constant $\sigma = 5.73 \times 10^{-8} \ W \ m^{-2} \ K^{-4}$)
