$A$ body of area $1\, cm^2$ is heated to a temperature $1000\, K$. The amount of energy radiated by the body in $1\, second$ is .......... $Joule$ (Stefan's constant $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8}\, W\, m^{-2}K^{-4}$)

$A$ wire of length $10 \ cm$ and diameter $0.5 \ mm$ is used in a bulb. The temperature of the wire is $1727^{\circ} C$ and power radiated by the wire is $94.2 \ W$. Its emissivity is $\frac{x}{8}$ where $x=$ . . . . . . (Given $\sigma=6.0 \times 10^{-8} \ W \ m^{-2} \ K^{-4}$,$\pi=3.14$ and assume that the emissivity of wire material is same at all wavelengths.)
