If the radius of a star is R and it acts as a black body, what would be the temperature of the star, in which the rate of energy production is Q?
- Q4 2
- ( Q4 2 )-1/2
- ( 4 2Q )1/4
- ( Q4 2 )1/4
Answer
(4) ( Q4 2 )1/4
Solution
For a black body, by Stefan's law, energy radiated per second: Q = A T4
Surface area of the star: A = 4 2
Q = 4 2 4
T = ( Q4 2 )1/4
Answer: (4)
