Options:

A) $ 410W $

B) $ 81\ W $

C) $ 405\ W $

D) $ 200\ W $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Rate of energy $ \frac{Q}{t}=P=A\varepsilon \sigma T^{4} $

Therefore $ P\propto T^{4} $

Therefore $ \frac{P _{1}}{P _{2}}={{( \frac{T _{1}}{T _{2}} )}^{4}} $

$ ={{( \frac{927+273}{127+273} )}^{4}} $

$ \Rightarrow P _{1}=405\ W $
