$A$ wire of length $L$ and diameter $d$ is used in a bulb. The temperature of the wire is $T$ and the power radiated by the wire is $P$. Its emissivity is $e$ ($\sigma$ = Stefan's constant). (Assume that the emissivity of the wire material is the same at all wavelengths).

  • A
    $\frac{P}{\sigma T^4 \pi d L}$
  • B
    $\frac{P}{\sigma T^2 \pi d L}$
  • C
    $\frac{P}{\sigma T^2 \pi d^2 L^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{P^2}{\sigma T^4 \pi d L}$

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 $6000 \ K$ and $2000 \ K$ respectively, the ratio of the radii of the star $A$ and the sun is: (in $: 1$)

$A$ black body at a temperature of $127^{\circ}C$ radiates heat at the rate of $1 \ cal/cm^2 \cdot s$. At a temperature of $527^{\circ}C$,the rate of heat radiation from the body in $cal/cm^2 \cdot s$ will be:
