Assuming the Sun to be a spherical body of radius $R$ at a temperature of $T \ K$,evaluate the total radiant power incident on Earth at a distance $r$ from the Sun. Where $r_0$ is the radius of the Earth and $\sigma$ is Stefan's constant.

  • A
    $\frac{R^2 \sigma T^4}{r^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{4\pi r_0^2 R^2 \sigma T^4}{r^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi r_0^2 R^2 \sigma T^4}{r^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{r_0^2 R^2 \sigma T^4}{4\pi r^2}$

If the temperature of a black body increases from $7^oC$ to $287^oC$,then the rate of energy radiation increases by a factor of:

$Assertion :$ Bodies radiate heat at all temperatures.
$Reason :$ Rate of radiation of heat is proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature.

The power radiated by a black body is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\lambda_0$. If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\frac{3}{4}\lambda_0$,the power radiated by it becomes $nP$. The value of $n$ is

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ at temperatures $T_1 \ K$ and $T_2 \ K$ respectively have the same dimensions. Their emissivities are in the ratio $1: 3$. If they radiate the same amount of heat per unit area per unit time,then the ratio of their temperatures $(T_1: T_2)$ is

The total energy of a black body radiation source is collected for five minutes and used to heat water. The temperature of the water increases from $10.0^{\circ} C$ to $11.0^{\circ} C$. The absolute temperature of the black body is doubled and its surface area halved and the experiment repeated for the same time. Which of the following statements would be most nearly correct?
