AIIMS 2000 Physics Stefan-Boltzmann Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Surface temperature of star A and B are 727°C and 327°C respectively. What is the ratio Hₐ : Hᵦ for the heat radiated per second by the two stars?

A

5 : 3

B

25 : 9

C

625 : 81

D

125 : 27

Correct Answer

Option C
