A perfectly black body emits a radiation at temperature ' \(\mathrm{T}_1\) ' \(\mathrm{K}\). If it is to radiate at 16 times this power, its temperature ' \(\mathrm{T}_2\) ' \(\mathrm{K}\) should be

  1. A \(8 \mathrm{~T}_1\)
  2. B \(4 \mathrm{~T}_1\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~T}_1\)
  4. D \(16 \mathrm{~T}_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \mathrm{~T}_1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{P}_2}{\mathrm{P}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^4 \\ & \therefore 16=\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^4 \\ & \therefore \frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}=2 \end{aligned} \)
