Suppose the Sun is a spherical body of radius $r$ with a surface temperature of $t \, ^\circ C$. It radiates energy like a black body. The power received per unit area at a distance $R$ from the center of the Sun will be: ($\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant)

  • A
    $\frac{r^2 \sigma (t + 273)^4}{R^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{4 \pi r^2 \sigma t^2}{R^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{r^2 \sigma (t + 273)^4}{4 \pi R^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{16 \pi^2 r^2 \sigma t^4}{R^2}$

$A$ body radiates energy at a rate of $5 \ W$ at a temperature of $127^{\circ}C$. If the temperature is increased to $927^{\circ}C$,then it radiates energy at the rate of ...... $W$.

The temperature of a body is increased from $T_1 = 127^{\circ}C$ to $T_2 = 227^{\circ}C$. The ambient temperature is $T_0 = 27^{\circ}C$. The energies emitted per second by the body at $T_1$ and $T_2$ are $E_1$ and $E_2$ respectively. The ratio of $\frac{E_2}{E_1}$ is:
