Two bodies A and B at temperatures ' \(\mathrm{T}_1\) ' \(\mathrm{K}\) and ' \(\mathrm{T}_2\) ' \(\mathrm{K}\) respectively have the same dimensions. Their emissivities are in the ratio \(1: 3\). If they radiate the same amount of heat per unit area per unit time, then the ratio of their temperatures \(\left(T_1: T_2\right)\) is

  1. A \(1: 3\)
  2. B \(3^{1 / 4}: 1\)
  3. C \(9^{1 / 4}: 1\)
  4. D \(81: 1\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3^{1 / 4}: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Stefan - Boltzmann's law
\(\frac{\mathrm{dQ}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{e}\left(\sigma \mathrm{AT}^4\right)\)
Given \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{dQ}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) are same for both the bodies
\(\begin{gathered}
\Rightarrow \mathrm{e}_1 \mathrm{~T}_1^4=\mathrm{e}_2 \mathrm{~T}_2^4 \\
\therefore \quad\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}\right)^4=\frac{\mathrm{e}_2}{\mathrm{e}_1}=\frac{3}{1} \\
\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{\sqrt[4]{3}}{1}=\frac{3^{\frac{1}{4}}}{1}
\end{gathered}\)
