Two spheres of the same material have radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ and surface temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. If their emissive power (total power radiated) is the same,find the ratio of their radii $r_1/r_2$.

  • A
    $(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^2$
  • B
    $(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^4$
  • C
    $(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^2$
  • D
    $(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^4$

$A$ wire of length $L$ and diameter $d$ is used in a bulb. The temperature of the wire is $T$ and the power radiated by the wire is $P$. Its emissivity is $e$ ($\sigma$ = Stefan's constant). (Assume that the emissivity of the wire material is the same at all wavelengths).

$A$ rectangular block of surface area $A$ emits energy $E$ per second at $27^{\circ} C$. If length and breadth are reduced to half of their initial values and the temperature is raised to $327^{\circ} C$,then the energy emitted per second becomes:

The energy spectrum of a black body has maximum energy at a wavelength of $\lambda_0$. Now, the temperature of the black body is increased such that the maximum energy is obtained at a wavelength of $3\lambda_0/4$. By what factor will the power radiated by the black body increase?
