Two identical metal balls at temperatures $200^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ are kept in air at $27^{\circ}C$. The ratio of net heat loss by these bodies is:

  • A
    $1/4$
  • B
    $1/2$
  • C
    $1/16$
  • D
    $\frac{473^4 - 300^4}{673^4 - 300^4}$

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).

Two spheres made of the same material have radii in the ratio $1 : 2$. If both are at the same temperature,what is the ratio of the energy emitted per second by them?

$Assertion :$ Bodies radiate heat at all temperatures.
$Reason :$ Rate of radiation of heat is proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature.

The actual temperature of a black body is $727^{\circ}C$. At what temperature in $K$ will the black body emit twice the radiation?

$A$ black metal foil is warmed by radiation from a small sphere at temperature $T$ and at a distance $d$. It is found that the power received by the foil is $P$. If both the temperature and distance are doubled,the power received by the foil will be:
