Two spherical black bodies have radii ' \(R_1\) ' and ' \(R_2\) '. Their surface temperatures are \(T_1 K\) and \(T_2 K\) respectively. If they radiate the same power, the ratio \(\frac{\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\) is

  1. A \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}\right)^4\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}\right)^2\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^4\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P = 4 \pi R^2 \sigma T^4 \) \( 4 \pi R_1^2 \sigma T_1^4 = 4 \pi R_2^2 \sigma T_2^4 \)
