Two spherical black bodies of radius $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ with surface temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ respectively,radiate the same power. Then the ratio $r_{1}: r_{2}$ is:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}\right)^{2}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}\right)^{4}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}\right)^{2}$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}\right)^{4}$

Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius $r$,radiating like a black body at temperature $t^{\circ} C$,the power received by a unit surface (normal to the incident rays) at a distance $R$ from the centre of the sun is,where $\sigma$ is the Stefan's constant.

Two spheres made of the same material have radii in the ratio $1:2$. Both are at the same temperature. The ratio of heat radiation energy emitted per second by them is:

Assume that the solar constant is $1.4 \, kW/m^2$,the radius of the sun is $7 \times 10^5 \, km$,and the distance of the earth from the center of the sun is $1.5 \times 10^8 \, km$. Given Stefan's constant is $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, W m^{-2} K^{-4}$,find the approximate temperature of the sun in $K$.

The distance between the Sun and the Earth is $2 \times 10^{8} \ km$, the temperature of the Sun is $6000 \ K$, and the radius of the Sun is $7 \times 10^{5} \ km$. If the emissivity of the Earth is $0.6$, find the temperature of the Earth in thermal equilibrium (in $K$).
