The earth intercepts approximately one billionth of the power radiated by the sun. if the surface temperature of the sun were to drop by a factor of 2, the average radiant energy incident on earth per second would reduce by factor of

The process of heat transfer in which heat is transferred with actual migration of medium particles is known as (AFMC-94)

Unit of Stefans constant is given by

A metal piece heated to T1°K. The temperature of the surrounding is T2°K. the heat in the surrounding due to radiation is proportional to

The earth receives at its surface radiation from the sun at the rate of 1400 W/m². the distance of the centre of the sun from the surface of the earth is 1.5 1011 m and the radius of the sun is 7.0 108 m. treating sun as a black body, it follows from the above data that its surface temperature is,

A surface at temperature T0°K receives power P by radiation from a small sphere at temperature T >> T0 and at a distance d. if both T and d are doubled, the power received by surface will becomes approximately

The temperature of a piece of metal is raised from 27°C to 51.2°C. the rate at which metal radiates energy increases nearly

Emissivity of perfectly black body is

The good absorber of heat are

Co-efficient of reflection, coefficient of absorption and coefficient transmission are related as
