Q.
A spherical black body with a radius of 12 cm radiates 450 watt power at 500 K. If the radius were halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watt would be :
A) 225
B) 450
C) 1000
D) 1800
Explanation
[Solution] $P \propto r^2T^4$: factor $(1/4)(16) = 4$, so P = 1800 W. Answer (4).
