Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius $r$,radiating like a black body at temperature $t^{\circ} C$,the power received by a unit surface (normal to the incident rays) at a distance $R$ from the centre of the sun is,where $\sigma$ is the Stefan's constant.

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

    $\frac{r^2 \sigma (t + 273)^4}{R^2}$
  • D

$A$ human body has a surface area of approximately $1 \,m^2$. The normal body temperature is $10 \,K$ above the surrounding room temperature $T_0$. Take the room temperature to be $T_0=300 \,K$. For $T_0=300 \,K$, and the value of $\sigma T_0^4=460 \,W/m^2$ (where $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant). Which of the following option(s) is/are correct?
[$A$] The amount of energy radiated by the body in $1 \,s$ is close to $60 \,J$.
[$B$] If the surrounding temperature reduces by a small amount $\Delta T_0 < < T_0$, then to maintain the same body temperature the same (living) human being needs to radiate $\Delta W = 4 \sigma T_0^3 \Delta T_0$ more energy per unit time.
[$C$] Reducing the exposed surface area of the body (e.g., by curling up) allows humans to maintain the same body temperature while reducing the energy lost by radiation.
[$D$] If the body temperature rises significantly, then the peak in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the body would shift to longer wavelengths.

$A$ black rectangular surface of area $A$ emits energy $E$ per second at $27^{\circ} C$. If length and breadth are reduced to $1/3$ of their initial values and the temperature is raised to $327^{\circ} C$,then the energy emitted per second becomes:

$A$ 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.)

$A$ black body emits energy at the rate of $1 \ cal/cm^2 \cdot s$ at a temperature of $127^{\circ}C$. Find the rate of energy emission at a temperature of $527^{\circ}C$ in $cal/cm^2 \cdot s$.
