A black body radiates energy at the rate of \(E\) watt \(/ \mathrm{m}^2\) at a high temperature \(T \mathrm{~K}\). When the temperature is reduced to \(\left(\frac{T}{2}\right) \mathrm{K}\), the radiant energy is

  1. A \(\frac{E}{2}\)
  2. B \(2 E\)
  3. C \(\frac{E}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{E}{16}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{E}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Stefan's law, \(\begin{array}{rlrl} & E \propto T^4 \\ \text { or } & \frac{E_2}{E_1} & =\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^4 \\ \text { or } & \frac{E_2}{E} & =\left(\frac{T / 2}{T}\right)^4=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4 \\ \text { or } & E_2 & =\frac{E}{16}\end{array}\)
