Q128 / 170 · Manipal (MET) 2017 · Physics
The surface area of a black body is $5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2$ and its temperature is $727^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The energy radiated by it per minute is $\left(\sigma=5.67 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^2-\mathrm{s}-\mathrm{K}^4\right)$
- Correct answerA$1.7 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J}$
- B$2.5 \times 10^2 \mathrm{~J}$
- C$8 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J}$
- D$3 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}$
Solution
From Stefan's law
$E=\sigma T^4 A$
Given,
$T=727^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=727+273=1000 \mathrm{~K}$
$A=5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2$
$\therefore$ Energy $=5.67 \times 10^{-8} \quad(1000)^4\left(5 \times 10^{-4}\right) 60$
$\therefore E=1.7 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
