Radiation
Question

The total radiant energy per unit area, normal to the direction of incidence, received at a distance R from the centre of a star of radius r, whose outer surface radiates as a black body at a temperature TK is given by

Moderate
Solution

If r is the radius of the star and T its temperature, then the energy emitted by the star per second through radiation in accordance with Stefan's law will be given by

AσT4 = 4πr2σT4

 4πR2x =4πr2σT4    x=σr2T4R2
