    According to Stefan's Law E = σeAT4;
    E ∝ T4 ; so, E ∝ (500)4

    Correct Option: A

    According to Stefan's Law E = σeAT4;
    E ∝ T4 ; so, E ∝ (500)4


  1. A beaker full of hot water is kept in a room. If it cools from 80°C to 75°C in t1 minutes, from 75° C to 70°C in t2 minutes and from 70°C to 65°C in t3 minutes, then

    Let θ0 be the temperature of the surrounding. Then

    80 - 75
    = k
    80 + 75
    - θ0
    t12

    Or,
    5
    k(77.5 - θ0)
    t1

    Or, t1 =
    5
    ..........(i)
    k(77.5 - θ0)

    Similarly, t2 =
    5
    ..........(ii)
    k(72.5 - θ0)

    and, t3 =
    5
    ..........(iii)
    k(67.5 - θ0)

    From (1), (2) & (3), it is obvious that
    t1 < t2 < t3
