Options:

A) 120W

B) 240 W

C) 320 W

D) 360 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

For a black body $ \frac{Q}{t}=P=A\sigma T^{4} $

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

Therefore $ \frac{P _{2}}{20}={{( \frac{273+727}{273+227} )}^{4}} $

Therefore $ \frac{P _{2}}{20}={{(2)}^{4}} $

Therefore $ P _{2}=320W $
