The energy spectrum of a black body exhibits a maximum around a wavelength $\lambda_o$. The temperature of the black body is now changed such that the energy is maximum around a wavelength $\frac{3\lambda_o}{4}$. The power radiated by the black body will now increase by a factor of

  • A
    $256/81$
  • B
    $64/27$
  • C
    $16/9$
  • D
    $4/3$

Two bodies $P$ and $Q$ have thermal emissivities of $\varepsilon_P$ and $\varepsilon_Q$ respectively. Surface areas of these bodies are same and the total radiant power emitted is also at the same rate. If the temperature of $P$ is $\theta_P$ Kelvin,then the temperature of $Q$ i.e.,$\theta_Q$ is:

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ at temperatures $T_1 \ K$ and $T_2 \ K$ respectively have the same dimensions. Their emissivities are in the ratio $1: 3$. If they radiate the same amount of heat per unit area per unit time,then the ratio of their temperatures $(T_1: T_2)$ is

The amount of radiation emitted by a perfectly black body is proportional to

$A$ black body at $227^{\circ}C$ radiates heat at the rate of $20 \, cal \, m^{-2} \, s^{-1}$. When its temperature is raised to $727^{\circ}C$,the rate of heat radiation will be $x \, cal \, m^{-2} \, s^{-1}$. Find $x$.
