If the sun’s surface radiates heat at \(6.3\times 10^{7}~\text{Wm}^{-2}\) then the temperature of the sun, assuming it to be a black body, will be:
\(\left(\sigma = 5.7\times 10^{-8}~\text{Wm}^{-2}\text{K}^{-4}\right)\)
1. \(5.8\times 10^{3}~\text{K}\)
2. \(8.5\times 10^{3}~\text{K}\)
3. \(3.5\times 10^{8}~\text{K}\)
4. \(5.3\times 10^{8}~\text{K}\)

The radius of a spherical black body is \(R,\) and \(\alpha\) represents the rate of energy production within the body. The temperature of the given black body in a steady-state is: (where \(\sigma\) is Stefan- Boltzmann constant)
1. \(\left(\dfrac{\alpha}{\sigma \times 4 \pi R^2}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{4}}\) 2. \(\left(\dfrac{\sigma \times 4 \pi R^2}{\alpha}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{4}}\)
3. \(\left(\dfrac{\alpha}{\sigma \times 4 \pi R^2}\right)\) 4. \(\left(\dfrac{4 \pi R^2 \times \sigma}{\alpha}\right)\)

A radiation blackbody has the shape of a sphere of radius \(r.\) Its surface is at a temperature \(T\) (in Kelvin). If the temperature is doubled and the radius is halved, the total rate of radiation emitted from the body:
1. increases by a factor of \(4\)
2. increases by a factor of \(2\)
3. remains unchanged
4. decreases by a factor of \(2\)

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 \(T\) K is given by: (Where \(\sigma\) is Stefan’s constant):
1. \(\dfrac{\sigma r^{2}T^{4}}{R^{2}}\)

2. \(\dfrac{\sigma r^{2}T^{4}}{4 \pi R^{2}}\)

3. \(\dfrac{\sigma r^{2}T^{4}}{R^{4}}\)

4. \(\dfrac{4\pi\sigma r^{2}T^{4}}{R^{2}}\)
