Transmission Of Heat Question 232

Question: Two identical metal balls at temperature $ 200^{o}C $ and $ 400^{o}C $ kept in air at $ 27^{o}C $ . The ratio of net heat loss by these bodies is

[CPMT 2002]

Options:

A) 1/4

B) 1/2

C) 1/16

D) If temperature of surrounding is considered then net loss of energy of a body by radiation $ Q=A\varepsilon \sigma (T^{4}-T _{0}^{4})t $

Therefore $ Q\propto (T^{4}-T _{0}^{4}) $

Therefore $ \frac{Q _{1}}{Q _{2}}=\frac{T _{1}^{4}-T _{0}^{4}}{T _{2}^{4}-T _{0}^{4}} $ $ =\frac{{{(273+200)}^{4}}-{{(273+27)}^{4}}}{{{(273+400)}^{4}}-{{(273+27)}^{4}}} $ $ =\frac{{{(473)}^{4}}-{{(300)}^{4}}}{{{(673)}^{4}}-{{(300)}^{4}}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \frac{473^{4}-300^{4}}{673^{4}-300^{4}} $
