Suppose the Sun is a spherical body of radius $r$ with a surface temperature of $t \, ^\circ C$. It radiates energy like a black body. The power received per unit area at a distance $R$ from the center of the Sun will be: ($\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant)

  • A
    $\frac{r^2 \sigma (t + 273)^4}{R^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{4 \pi r^2 \sigma t^2}{R^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{r^2 \sigma (t + 273)^4}{4 \pi R^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{16 \pi^2 r^2 \sigma t^4}{R^2}$
