The temperature of a black body is increased by \(50 \%\), then the percentage increase in the rate of radiation by the body is approximated

  1. A \(50 \%\)
  2. B \(100 \%\)
  3. C \(400 \%\)
  4. D \(150 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(400 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rate of radiation \(\mathrm{R} \propto \mathrm{T}^4\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \frac{\mathrm{R}_2}{\mathrm{R}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^4=(1.5)^4 \approx 5 \\
& \therefore \mathrm{R}_2=5 \mathrm{R}_1
\end{aligned}
\)
Percentage increase \(=\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_2-\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_1}\right) \times 100=400 \%\)
