Radiation from a black body at the thermodynamic temperature $T_1$ is measured by a small detector at distance $d_1$ from it. When the temperature is increased to $T_2$ and the distance to $d_2$,the power received by the detector is unchanged. What is the ratio $d_2/d_1$?

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