Question

The rate of dissipation of heat by a black body at temperature T is Q. What will be the rate of dissipation of heat by another body at temperature 2T and emissivity 0.25?

Moderate
Solution

By Stefan's law

   Q = σT4

The rate of dissipation of heat by a body emissivity e is given be

   Q' = eσT'4

There T' = 2T, e = 0.25

 Q = 0.25×σ(2T)4

           = 4σT4 = 4Q
