Q. A black body at a temperature of $127℃$ radiates heat at the rate of $1\ cal/cm^{2} \times sec$. At a temperature of $527℃$ the rate of heat radiation from the body in $(cal/cm^{2} \times sec)$ will be

A) 16.0
B) 10.45
C) 4.0
D) 2.0
Explanation

(a) $\frac{Q_{2}}{Q_{1}} = \frac{T_{2}^{4}}{T_{1}^{4}} = \left( \frac{273 + 527}{273 + 127} \right)^{4} = \left( \frac{800}{400} \right)^{4} \Rightarrow Q_{2} = 16\frac{cal}{cm^{2} \times s}$
