The radiation emitted by a star \(A\) is 10000 times that of the sun. If the surface temperatures of the sun and the star \(A\) are \(6000 \mathrm{~K}\) and \(2000 \mathrm{~K}\) respectively, the ratio of the radii of the star \(A\) and the sun is :

  1. A \(300: 1\)
  2. B \(600: 1\)
  3. C \(900: 1\)
  4. D \(1200: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(900: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy radiated per unit time \(E=\sigma A T^4\) where \(\sigma=\) Stefan's constant \(\therefore \quad\) For sun \(E_{\text {sun }}=\sigma A_{\text {sun }} T_{\text {sun }}^4\) According to question, \(E_{\text {star }}=10000 E_{\text {sun }}\)…
