Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{T_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given:
- Two bodies \(X\) and \(Y\) at temperatures \(T_1\) and \(T_2\).
- Same dimensions.
- Same emissive power.
Stefan-Boltzmann Law:
\(E=\sigma e A T^4\)
Here:
- E: Emissive power,
- \(\sigma\) : Stefan-Boltzmann constant,
- e: Emissivity,
- A: Surface area,
- T: Absolute temperature.
For the same emissive power:
\(T_1^4=T_2^4\)
If \(T_1 / T_2=1 / 3\), then:
\(T_1^4 / T_2^4=1 / 81 \quad \Rightarrow \quad T_1 / T_2=\frac{1}{3} .\)
Answer: \(T_1 / T_2=\frac{1}{3}\), Option 1.
