Radiation
Question

A Block of Ice

Easy
Solution

Absolute temperature of ice block T = (0+273) = 273K. Rate of radiation from the surface of a block of iceQr=eσAT4

where e= emissivity of the surface of ice block.

When radiation from surrounding (at temperature T0) is incident on the surface of ice block, rate of absorption

Qa=aσAT04

where 'a' = absorptivity of the surface so option - (1) is correct.

according to Prevost theory of heat exchange any substance above 'O' K emits as well as absorb heat with the surrounding.
