Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius $r$,radiating like a black body at temperature $t^{\circ} C$,the power received by a unit surface (normal to the incident rays) at a distance $R$ from the centre of the sun is,where $\sigma$ is the Stefan's constant.

  • A
    $\frac{r^2 \sigma (t + 273)^4}{4\pi R^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{16\pi^2 r^2 \sigma t^4}{R^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{r^2 \sigma (t + 273)^4}{R^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{4\pi r^2 \sigma t^4}{R^2}$

Three very large plates of same area are kept parallel and close to each other. They are considered as ideal black surfaces and have very high thermal conductivity. First and third plates are maintained at absolute temperatures $2 T$ and $3 T$ respectively. Temperature of the middle plate in steady state is

The radiant energy from the sun incident normally at the surface of the earth is $20 \, kcal/(m^2 \cdot min)$. What would have been the radiant energy incident normally on the earth,if the sun had a temperature twice of the present one? (in $kcal/(m^2 \cdot min)$)

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 $: 1$)
