The temperature of the surface of the Sun is nearly \(6000~\text{K}\) and the amount of total energy emitted by the Sun per second is \(4\times10^{26}~\text{J}.\) If the temperature of the surface of the Sun is \(18000~\text{K},\) then the amount of thermal radiation emitted by the same will be:
1. \(3.24\times10^{28}~\text{W}\) 
2. \(2.52\times10^{28}~\text{W}\) 
3. \(8\times10^{26}~\text{W}\) 
4. \(16\times10^{27}~\text{W}\)

The emissivity of a body is given by    \(e={\Large\frac{1}{3}}\bigg(1+{\Large\frac{T}{400}}\bigg),\) where \(T\) is the absolute temperature of the body in the range:    \(200~\text K\leq T​ \leq800~\text K\)
When the temperature of the body increases from \(200~\text K\) to \(500~\text K,\) its emissivity:
1. decreases from \(\dfrac12\) to \(\dfrac14\)
2. increases from \(\dfrac12\) to \(\dfrac34\)
3. decreases from \(\dfrac12\) to \(\dfrac13\)
4. increases from \(\Large\frac12\) to \(\Large\frac23\)

A black body of a given surface area at temperature \(T\) emits a certain amount of thermal radiation per second. If the temperature of the black body is doubled, the change of thermal radiation emitted will be:
1. \(2\) times more than the original value.
2. \(16\) times more than the original value.
3. \(\dfrac{1}{16}\) times the original value.
4. \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)times the original value.

Two bodies A and B have thermal emissivities of 0.01 and 0.81 respectively. The outer surface areas of the two bodies are the same. The two bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength λB of B corresponding to maximum spectral radiancy in the radiation differs from that of A by 1.00 µm. If the temperature of A is 5802 K:

1. the temperature of B is 17406 K.

2. λB = 1.5 µm

3. the temperature of B is 11604 K.

4. the temperature of B is 2901 K.
