  • question_answer
    The rectangular surface of area \[8 cm\times 4 cm\]of a black body at temperature \[127{}^\circ C\] emits energy E per second. If the length and breadth are reduced to half of the initial value and the temperature is raised to \[327{}^\circ C\], the rate of emission of energy becomes

    A) \[\frac{3}{8}\operatorname{E}\]

    B) \[\frac{81}{16}\operatorname{E}\]

    C) \[\frac{9}{16}\operatorname{E}\]

    D) \[\frac{81}{64}\operatorname{E}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\operatorname{E}=\sigma \times area\times {{T}^{4}}\]; T increases by a factor \[\frac{3}{2}\]. Area increases by a factor\[\frac{1}{4}\]. \[\Rightarrow E'\frac{1}{4}\times {{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{4}}\times E=\frac{81}{64}E\]
