Two bodies A and B at temperatures ' \(\mathrm{T}_1{ }^{\prime} \mathrm{K}\) and ' \(\mathrm{T}_2{ }^{\prime} \mathrm{K}\) respectively have the same dimensions. Their emissivities are in the ratio \(16: 1\). At \(\mathrm{T}_1=\mathrm{x} \mathrm{T}_2\), they radiate the same amount of heat per unit area per unit time. The value of \(x\) is

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(0.5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(e_A \sigma T_A^4 = e_B \sigma T_B^4\) \(16 (x T_2)^4 = 1 (T_2)^4\)
