    Two stars A and B at equal surface temperature. Star A has surface area four times that of B. The ratio in the luminosities of A and B will be

    A)  \[\begin{matrix}    1 & 16  \\ \end{matrix}\]           

    B)  \[\begin{matrix}    1 & 4  \\ \end{matrix}\]

    C)  \[\begin{matrix}    16 & 1  \\ \end{matrix}\]          

    D)  \[\begin{matrix}    4 & 1  \\ \end{matrix}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : Luminosity of a star\[L=\sigma 4\pi {{R}^{2}}{{T}^{4}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{L}_{A}}}{{{L}_{B}}}=\frac{Surface\text{ }area\text{ }of\text{ }star\text{ }A}{Surface\text{ }area\text{ }of\text{ }star\text{ }B}\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{{{L}_{A}}}{{{L}_{B}}}=\frac{4}{1}\]
