STANDARD Physics Black Body Radiation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

If the temperature of hot black body is raised by 5%, rate of heat energy radiated would be increased by how much percentage?

A

12%

B

22%

C

32%

D

42%

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

According to Stefan's law, rate of energy radiated by a black body at absolute temperature T is given by H = AσT⁴. When the temperature is increased by 5%, the new temperature T' = 1.05T. The rate of heat energy radiated increases by (1.05)⁴ - 1 ≈ 22%.
