    A black body at a high temperature T Kelvin radiates energy at the rate of E\[watt/{{m}^{2}}\]. When T the temperature falls to \[\frac{T}{2}\] kelvin, then the radiated energy is :

    A)  \[\frac{E}{16}\]           

    B)  \[2E\]

    C)  \[\frac{E}{4}\]        

    D)  \[\frac{E}{8}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From Stefans law, the total radiant energy emitted per second per unit surface area of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature (T) of the body. \[E=\sigma {{T}^{4}}\] where \[\sigma \] is Stefans constant. Given, \[{{T}_{1}}=T\] kelvin, \[{{E}_{1}}=E\] watt/\[{{m}^{2}}\], \[{{T}_{2}}=\frac{T}{2}\]kelvin \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{E}_{2}}=\frac{T_{2}^{4}}{T_{1}^{4}}{{E}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{E}_{2}}=\frac{{{(T/2)}^{4}}\times E}{{{T}^{4}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{E}_{2}}=\frac{E}{16}\]
