Two electric lamps $A$ and $B$ radiate the same power. Their filaments have the same dimensions and have emissivities $e_A$ and $e_B$. Their surface temperatures are $T_A$ and $T_B$. The ratio $\frac{T_A}{T_B}$ will be equal to :-

  • A
    $(\frac{e_B}{e_A})^{1/4}$
  • B
    $(\frac{e_B}{e_A})^{1/2}$
  • C
    $(\frac{e_A}{e_B})^{1/2}$
  • D
    $(\frac{e_A}{e_B})^{1/4}$
