The radiation emitted by a star A is 1000 times that of the sun. If the surface temperatures of the sun and star A are 6000 K and 2000 K respectively, the ratio of the radii of the star A and the sun is:

a
300 : 1
b
600 : 1
c
900 : 1
d
1200 : 1

detailed solution

Correct option is C

According to Stefan-Boltzmann law. the energy radiated per second through the surface of area A is given byE = σAT4E1E2 = A1A2(T1T2)4or 10000 = r12r22(20006000)4or r12r22 = (30)4or r1 : r2 = 900 : 1
