Options:
A) 225
B) 450
C) 900
D) 1800
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Radiated power by blackbody $ P=\frac{Q}{t}=A\sigma T^{4} $
Therefore $ P\propto AT^{4} $
$ \propto r^{2}T^{4} $
Therefore $ \frac{P _{1}}{P _{2}}={{( \frac{r _{1}}{r _{2}} )}^{2}},{{( \frac{T _{1}}{T _{2}} )}^{4}} $
Therefore $ \frac{440}{P _{2}}={{( \frac{12}{6} )}^{2}},{{( \frac{500}{1000} )}^{4}} $
Therefore $ P _{2}=1760,W\approx 1800,W $
