$A$ black coloured solid sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is inside a cavity with vacuum inside. The walls of the cavity are maintained at temperature $T_0$. The initial temperature of the sphere is $3T_0$. If the specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as $\alpha T^3$ per unit mass with the temperature $T$ of the sphere,where $\alpha$ is a constant,then the time taken for the sphere to cool down to temperature $2T_0$ will be ($\sigma$ is Stefan-Boltzmann constant).

  • A
    $\frac{M\alpha}{4\pi R^2\sigma} \ln \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{M\alpha}{4\pi R^2\sigma} \ln \left( \frac{16}{3} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{M\alpha}{16\pi R^2\sigma} \ln \left( \frac{16}{3} \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{M\alpha}{16\pi R^2\sigma} \ln \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)$
