A sphere of 3 cm radius acts like a black body. If it is in equilibrium with its surroundings and absorb 30 k watt of energy radiated to it from the surrounding. Then the temperature of the sphere will be

a
816 K
b
916 K
c
1616 K
d
2616 K

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Radius of sphere r = 3 cm = 0.03 m The energy absorbed  E = 30 kW = 30 × 103 wattEnergy absorbed by black body when the temperature of surroundings is T, is given byE = σAT4or 30 × 103 = 5.672 ×10-8×4π(0.03)2×T4     30 × 103 = 0.64 ×10-8×T4      T4 = 30×1030.064×10-8 = 46.875 ×1012        = 2.616 ×  103 = 2616 K
