Two spheres of the same material have radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ and surface temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. If their emissive power (total power radiated) is the same,find the ratio of their radii $r_1/r_2$.

  • A
    $(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^2$
  • B
    $(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^4$
  • C
    $(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^2$
  • D
    $(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^4$

$A$ metal is heated in a furnace where a sensor is kept above the metal surface to read the power radiated $(P)$ by the metal. The sensor has a scale that displays $\log_{2}(P / P_0)$,where $P_0$ is a constant. When the metal surface is at a temperature of $487^{\circ} C$,the sensor shows a value of $1$. Assume that the emissivity of the metallic surface remains constant. What is the value displayed by the sensor when the temperature of the metal surface is raised to $2767^{\circ} C$?
