A) \[S\propto {{T}^{4}}\]
B) \[S\propto {{T}^{2}}\]
C) \[S\propto {{\theta }^{2}}\]
D) \[S\propto \theta \]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Let radius of sun = R Distance of earth from the sun = d Power radiated from the sun \[=(4\pi {{R}^{2}})\sigma {{T}^{4}}=P\] Energy received/area/s \[S=\frac{P}{4\pi {{d}^{2}}}\] \[=4\pi {{R}^{2}}\sigma \frac{{{T}^{4}}}{4\pi {{d}^{2}}}=\sigma {{T}^{4}}\frac{{{R}^{2}}}{{{d}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\sigma {{T}^{4}}{{\left( \frac{2R}{d} \right)}^{2}}\] Angle subtended by sun at earth \[\alpha =\frac{2R}{d}\] \[S=\operatorname{constant}\,\times {{T}^{4}}\times {{\alpha }^{2}}\] \[S\propto T{{}^{4}}\]
