1. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 13th May Morning Shift )

A black body at temperature 127 C radiates heat at the rate of 5   cal / cm 2   s . At a temperature 927 C , its rate of emission in units of cal / cm 2   s will be

A. 405

B. 35

C. 45

D. 350

Correct Option is (A)

From Stefan Boltzmann's Law

E = σ T 4 E T 4

E 1 E 2 = ( T 1   T 2 ) 4 = ( 400 1200 ) 4 E 1 E 2 = 1 81 E 2 = 81 × E 1 = 81 × 5 = 405   cal / cm 2   s

A black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength ' λ ' and its emissive power is ' E '. Now due to a change in temperature of that body, it radiates maximum energy at wavelength λ 3 . At that temperature emissive power is

A. 16 : 1

B. 256 : 1

C. 81 : 1

D. 128 : 1

Correct Option is (C)

Emissive power of black body is, From Wien's Law:

E = σ T 4 λ = b T E = σ b 4 λ 4 E 2 E 1 = λ 1 4 λ 2 4 = λ 4 ( λ 3 ) 4 = 81 1

Compare the rate of loss of heat from a metal sphere at 627 C with the rate of loss of heat from the same sphere at 327 C , if the temperature of the surrounding is 27 C . (nearly)

A. 6.2

B. 5.3

C. 4.8

D. 7.4

Correct Option is (B)

The heat loss is given as R = e σ A ( T 4 T 0 4 )

Let surrounding temperature be denoted as T

Heat loss from the metal sphere at a temperature T 1

R 1 = e σ A ( T 1 4 T 0 4 )

Heat loss from the metal sphere at a temperature T 2

R 2 = e σ A ( T 2 4 T 4 )

R 1 R 2 = T 1 4 T 4 T 2 4 T 4 = 900 4 300 4 600 4 300 4 R 1 R 2 = 5.3

4. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 12th May Morning Shift )

A black sphere has radius ' R ' whose rate of radiation is ' E ' at temperature ' T '. If radius is made R / 3 and temperature ' 3 T ', the rate of radiation will be

A. E

B. 3E

C. 6E

D. 9E

Correct Option is (D)

E = e A σ T 4

But for sphere, A = 4 π R 2

E = e ( 4 π R 2 ) σ T 4 E 1 E 2 = R 1 2 T 1 4 R 2 2 T 2 4 E E 2 = R 2 T 4 ( R 3 ) 2 ( 3 T ) 4 E 2 = 9 E
