(b) $40 k cal / m^{2} min$
(c) $320 k cal / m^{2} min$
(d) $80 k cal / m^{2} min$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 42. (c)
Solution:
- (c) According to Stefan’s law, $E \propto T^{4}$
$\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{T_1^{4}}{T_2^{4}}$ or $\frac{20}{E_2}=\frac{T^{4}}{2^{4} T^{4}}$
$\Rightarrow E_2=320 kcal / m^{2}$. $min$.
