Q.
Calculate the energy radiated per minute from the filament of an incandescent lamp at 2000K. If the surface area is 5×10−5m2 and its relative emittance is 0.85,σ=5.7×10−8 MKS units
From Stefan's law of radiation, the energy radiated (E) is given by E=eσT4At
Given, e=0.85,σ=5.7×10−8, T=2000K, A=5×10−5m2,t=60s E=0.85×5.7×10−8×(2000)4×5×10−5×60 E=2325J
