Q.
A black body at a temperature of 227∘C radiates heat at the rate of 5calcm−2s−1 . At a temperature of 727∘C the rate of heat radiated per unit area in calcm−2s−1 is
According to Stefan's law radiant energy emitted by a perfectly black body per unit area per sec ( ie, emissive power of black body) is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature ie E∝T4 ⇒E2E1=T24T14 E25=(273+727)4(273+227)4 E2=5×[5001000]4
= 5×16=80calcm−2s−1
