Transmission Of Heat Question 225

Question: Two spherical black bodies of radii $ r _{1} $ and $ r _{2} $ and with surface temperature $ T _{1} $ and $ T _{2} $ respectively radiate the same power. Then the ratio of $ r _{1} $ and $ r _{2} $ will be

[KCET 2001; UPSEAT 2001]

Options:

A) $ {{( \frac{T _{2}}{T _{1}} )}^{2}} $

B) $ {{( \frac{T _{2}}{T _{1}} )}^{4}} $

C) $ {{( \frac{T _{1}}{T _{2}} )}^{2}} $

D) $ {{( \frac{T _{1}}{T _{2}} )}^{4}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

For black body, $ P=A\varepsilon \sigma T^{4} $ . For same power $ A\propto \frac{1}{T^{4}} $

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

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