Two spheres of the same material have radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ and surface temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. If their emissive power (total power radiated) is the same,find the ratio of their radii $r_1/r_2$.

  • A
    $(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^2$
  • B
    $(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^4$
  • C
    $(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^2$
  • D
    $(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^4$
