Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, weight of material \(P\) is 8 times the weight of material \(Q\). i.e., \(\quad m_p=8 m_Q\) From stefan's law, the rate of heat radiation from an object is given by \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}=e \sigma A T^4\)...(i) where, \(e=\) emissivity, \(\sigma=\) Stefan's constant…
