Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Power Radiated by black body, \(\mathrm{P}=\sigma \mathrm{AT}^4\)
\(\therefore \quad\) For first black body:
\(\mathrm{P}_1=\sigma 4 \pi \mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{~T}_1^4\)
\(\therefore \quad\) For second black body:
\(\mathrm{P}_2=\sigma 4 \pi \mathrm{r}_2{ }^2 \mathrm{~T}_2{ }^4\)
\(\therefore \quad\) The ratio will be:
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{P}_1}{\mathrm{P}_2}=\frac{\sigma 4 \pi \mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{~T}_1^4}{\sigma 4 \pi \mathrm{r}_2^2 \mathrm{~T}_2^4} \\
& \frac{1}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{~T}_1^4}{\mathrm{r}_2^2 \mathrm{~T}_2^4} \\
& \frac{\mathrm{r}_1^2}{\mathrm{r}_2^2}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{T}_2^4}{\mathrm{~T}_1^4} \\
& \frac{\mathrm{r}_1}{\mathrm{r}_2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^2
\end{aligned}
