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 answer
    A
    $1.7 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J}$
  • 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'.
