Heat and Thermodynamics 3 Question 34

34. The earth receives at its surface radiation from the sun at the rate of 1400Wm2. The distance of the centre of the sun from the surface of the earth is 1.5×1011m and the radius of the sun is 7×108m. Treating the sun as a black body, it follows from the above data that its surface temperature is …… K.

(1989,2M)

Answer:

Correct Answer: 34. 5803

Solution:

  1. Given, (σT4)(4πR2)(4πr2)=1400

T=(1400×r2σR2)1/4=[1400×(1.5×1011)2(5.67×108)×(7×108)2]1/4=5803K
