Radiation from a black body at the thermodynamic temperature $T_1$ is measured by a small detector at distance $d_1$ from it. When the temperature is increased to $T_2$ and the distance to $d_2$,the power received by the detector is unchanged. What is the ratio $d_2/d_1$?

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

$A$ very small hole in an electric furnace is used for heating metals. The hole nearly acts as a black body. The area of the hole is $200 \ mm^2$. To keep a metal at $727^{\circ} C$, the heat energy flowing through this hole per second, in joules, is (given $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \ W m^{-2} K^{-4}$):

The heat radiated per unit area in $1\,hour$ by a furnace whose temperature is $3000\,K$ is $(\sigma = 5.7 \times 10^{-8}\,W\,m^{-2}\,K^{-4})$.

$A$ rectangular black body of temperature $127^{\circ} C$ has surface area $4 \ cm \times 2 \ cm$ and rate of radiation is $E$. If its temperature is increased by $400^{\circ} C$ and surface area is reduced to half of the initial value,then the rate of radiation is:
