    Two spherical black bodies of radii\[{{r}_{1}}\]and \[{{r}_{2}}\]and with surface temperature\[{{T}_{1}}\]and\[{{T}_{2}}\] respectively. Radiate the same power. Then the ratio of \[{{r}_{1}}\]and \[{{r}_{2}}\]will be:

    A) \[{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}\]                            

    B)  \[{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)}^{4}}\]

    C)  \[{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\]                           

    D)  \[{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}} \right)}^{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Radius of 1st body\[={{r}_{1}},\]radius of IInd body \[={{r}_{2}}\] Temperature of \[\text{Ist}\]body \[={{T}_{1}}\] Temperature of \[\text{IInd}\]body \[={{T}_{2}}\] The emissivity of a black body or radiated power is given by \[E=A\sigma {{T}^{4}}\times t\propto A{{T}^{4}}\] or\[A\propto \frac{E}{{{T}^{4}}}\](where A is the surface area of the spherical black, body) As in the condition of question the power radiated by first and second body is same. Hence, \[A\propto \frac{1}{{{T}^{4}}}\] so                           \[\frac{{{A}_{1}}}{{{A}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{T} \right)}^{4}}\]                                 \[\frac{4\pi r_{1}^{2}}{4\pi r_{2}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)}^{4}}\] Thus                      \[\frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{T} \right)}^{2}}\]
