                    A black body is at \[{{727}^{\text{o}}}C\]. It emits energy at a rate which is proportional to:                         

    A)                 \[{{(727)}^{2}}\]

    B)                 \[{{(1000)}^{4}}\]

    C)                         \[{{(1000)}^{2}}\]

    D)                 \[{{(727)}^{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: Amount of heat energy radiated per second by unit area of a black body is directly proportional to fourth power of absolute temperature.                 According to Stefan's law,                 \[E\,\propto \,\,{{T}^{4}}\]                 \[orE=\sigma {{T}^{4}}\]                 where \[\sigma \] is constant of proportionality and called Stefan's constant. Its value is                 \[5.67\times {{10}^{-8}}\,W{{m}^{-2}}\,{{K}^{-4}}\]                 Hence,  \[E\,\propto \,\,{{(727+273)}^{4}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow E\,\propto \,{{(1000)}^{4}}\]                 Note:    If the body at temperature T is surrounded by a body at temperature \[{{T}_{0}}\], then Stefan?s law is                 \[E=\sigma ({{T}^{4}}-T_{0}^{4})\]                 This statement is called Stefan-Boltzmann law:
