Transmission Of Heat Question 208

Question: If temperature of a black body increases from $ 7^{o}C $ to $ 287^{o}C $ , then the rate of energy radiation increases by

[AIIMS 1997; Haryana PMT 2000; RPMT 2003]

Options:

A) $ {{( \frac{287}{7} )}^{4}} $

B) 16

C) 4

D) 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

For a block body rate of energy $ \frac{Q}{t}=P=A\sigma T^{4} $

Therefore $ P\propto T^{4} $

Therefore $ \frac{P _{1}}{P _{2}}={{( \frac{T _{1}}{T _{2}} )}^{4}}={{{ \frac{(273+7)}{(273+287)} }}^{4}}=\frac{1}{16} $
