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 $
