10-2.Transmission of Heat
medium
A hot metallic sphere of radius $r$ radiates heat. It's rate of cooling is
A
Independent of $r$
B
Proportional to $r$
C
Proportional to ${r^2}$
D
Proportional to $1/r$
Solution
(d) Rate of cooling ${R_C} = \frac{{d\theta }}{{dt}} = \frac{{A\varepsilon \sigma ({T^4} – T_0^4)}}{{mc}}$
==> $\frac{{d\theta }}{{dt}} \propto \frac{A}{V} \propto \frac{{{r^2}}}{{{r^3}}}$
==> $\frac{{d\theta }}{{dt}} \propto \frac{1}{r}$
