10-2.Transmission of Heat
normal
The spectrum of a black body at two temperature $27\,^oC$ and $327\,^oC$ is shown in the figure. Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be the areas under the two curves respectively. The value of $\frac {A_2}{A_1}$ is

A
$1\,\,:\,\,16$
B
$4\,\,:\,\,1$
C
$2\,\,:\,\,1$
D
$16\,\,:\,\,1$
Solution
Area under given curve represents emissive power and emissive power $\propto T^{4} \Rightarrow A \propto T^{4}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{A_{2}}{A_{1}}=\frac{T_{2}^{4}}{T_{1}^{4}}=\frac{(273+327)^{4}}{(273+27)^{4}}=\left(\frac{600}{300}\right)^{4}=\frac{16}{1}$
