AIPMT PRELIMS 2010 Physics Radiation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

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 σ is Stefan’s Constant)

A

4πσr²T⁴/R²

B

σr²T⁴/R²

C

σr²T⁴/4πr²

D

σr⁴T⁴/r⁴

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The radiant energy per unit area is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which states that the power radiated per unit area is proportional to T⁴. The correct expression is σr²T⁴/R².
