NEET Physics Transmission of Heat NEET PYQ-Transmission Of Heat

  • question_answer
    If the radius of a star is R and it acts as a black body, what would be the temperature of the star, in which the rate of energy production is Q?                                                                                                             [AIPMT (S) 2012]

    A)  \[Q/4\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma \]     

    B)       \[{{(Q/4\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma )}^{-1/2}}\]

    C)  \[{{(4\pi {{R}^{2}}Q/\sigma )}^{1/4}}\]

    D)       \[{{(Q/4\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma )}^{1/4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From Stefan' law,
    \[E=\sigma {{T}^{4}}\]
    So, the rate energy production
    \[Q=E\times A\]
    \[Q=\sigma {{T}^{4}}\times 4\pi {{R}^{2}}\]
    Temperature of star \[T={{\left( \frac{Q}{4\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma } \right)}^{1/4}}\]
    (\[\sigma \] stands for Stefan's constant.)
