Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius $r$,radiating like a black body at temperature $t^{\circ} C$,the power received by a unit surface (normal to the incident rays) at a distance $R$ from the centre of the sun is,where $\sigma$ is the Stefan's constant.

  • A
    $\frac{r^2 \sigma (t + 273)^4}{4\pi R^2}$
  • B

$A$ black body radiates energy at the rate of $1 \times 10^5 \ J/s \cdot m^2$ at a temperature of $227^\circ C$. The temperature to which it must be heated so that it radiates energy at a rate of $1 \times 10^9 \ J/s \cdot m^2$ is:

$A$ container has a small hole. At what temperature (in $K$) should it be maintained so that it emits $1 \ cal$ of energy per second per $m^2$?

Three very large plates of the same area are kept parallel and close to each other. They are considered as ideal black surfaces and have very high thermal conductivity. The first and third plates are maintained at temperatures $2T$ and $3T$ respectively. The temperature of the middle (i.e.,second) plate under steady-state condition is

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

$A$ 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.
