Transmission Of Heat Question 298

Question: Two spheres made of same material have radii in the ratio 1: 2 Both are at same temperature. Ratio of heat radiation energy emitted per second by them is

Options:

A) 1 : 2

B) 1 : 8

C) 1 : 4

D) 1 : 16

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ Q=A\varepsilon \sigma T^{4} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ Q\propto A\propto r^{2} $ ($ \because $ T = constant)

$ \Rightarrow \frac{Q _{1}}{Q _{2}}=\frac{r _{1}^{2}}{r _{2}^{2}}={{( \frac{1}{2} )}^{2}}=\frac{1}{4} $
