Detailed Solution

The energy radiated per second E, by a body of surface area A, at temperature TK is given byE=kσAT4 [Stefan's law)where k = relative emissivityE1 = energy radiated per second by first sphere =kσ4π(1)2(4000)4                  =kσπ1024×1012 joule Similarly, E2=kσ4π(4)2(2000)4                   =kσπ1024×1012 joule ∴ E1=E2
