The outer surface of a star in the form of a sphere radiates heat as a black body at temperature $T$. The total radiant energy per unit area,normal to the direction of incidence,received at a distance $R$ from the center of a star of radius $r$ is $(R > r)$ ($\sigma =$ Stefan's constant).

  • A
    $\frac{\sigma r^2 T^4}{R^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sigma r^2 T^4}{4 \pi R^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sigma r^2 T^4}{R^4}$
  • D
    $\frac{4 \pi \sigma r^2 T^4}{R^2}$

When the temperature of a black body increases, it is observed that the wavelength corresponding to maximum energy changes from $0.26 \mu m$ to $0.13 \mu m$. The ratio of the emissive powers of the body at the respective temperatures is

$A$ black rectangular surface of area $A$ emits energy $E$ per second at $27^{\circ} C$. If length and breadth are reduced to $1/3$ of their initial values and the temperature is raised to $327^{\circ} C$,then the energy emitted per second becomes:
