Thermal Properties of Matter

  1. A spherical black body with a radius of 12 cm radiates 450 watt power at 500 K. If the radius were halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watt would be :
    1. 450
    2. 1000
    3. 1800
    4. 225
Correct Option: C

Given r1 = 12 cm , r2 = 6 cm
T1 = 500 K and T2 = 2 × 500 = 1000 K
P1 = 450 watt
Rate of power loss P ∝ r² T4

P1
=
r1²T14
P2r2²T24

P2 = P1
r2²T24
t1 - t14

Solving we get, P2 = 1800 watt
