The outer surface of a star in the form of a sphere radiates heat as a black body at temperature $T$. The total radiant energy per unit area,normal to the direction of incidence,received at a distance $R$ from the center of a star of radius $r$ is $(R > r)$ ($\sigma =$ Stefan's constant).

  • A
    $\frac{\sigma r^2 T^4}{R^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sigma r^2 T^4}{4 \pi R^2}$
  • C

  • D
    $\frac{4 \pi \sigma r^2 T^4}{R^2}$

$A$ black body radiates heat energy at the rate of $2 \times 10^5 \, J/s \cdot m^2$ at a temperature of $127 \, ^\circ C$. The temperature of the black body at which the rate becomes $32 \times 10^5 \, J/s \cdot m^2$ is ....... $^\circ C$.

The power radiated by a black body is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\lambda_0$. If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\frac{3}{4}\lambda_0$,the power radiated by it becomes $nP$. The value of $n$ is

The ratio of the radii of two spheres made of the same material is $1:4$ and the ratio of their temperatures is $2:3$. The ratio of the energy emitted by the spheres per second will be:

$A$ certain stellar body has radius $50 \,R_{s}$ and temperature $2 \,T_{s}$ and is at a distance of $2 \times 10^{10} \,AU$ from the earth. Here,$AU$ refers to the earth-sun distance and $R_{s}$ and $T_{s}$ refer to the sun's radius and temperature,respectively. Take both the star and the sun to be ideal black bodies. The ratio of the power received on earth from the stellar body as compared to that received from the sun is close to
