The surface of a black body is at a temperature $727^{\circ} C$ and its cross-section is $1 \,m^2$. Heat radiated from this surface in one minute in joules is (Stefan's constant $=5.7 \times 10^{-8} \,W / m^2 / K^4$ )

Two black bodies at temperatures $327^{\circ} C$ and $427^{\circ} C$ are kept in an evacuated chamber at $27^{\circ} C$. The ratio of their rates of loss of heat are :

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

If the temperature of the sun were to be increased from $T$ to $2T$ and its radius from $R$ to $2R$,then the ratio of the radiant energy received on the earth to what it was previously will be

$A$ container has a small hole. At what temperature (in $K$) should it be maintained so that it emits $1 \ cal$ of energy per second per $m^2$?
