Solved Problems

Q 1. Two substances P and Q are kept in evacuated vessels maintained at temperatures of 27 °C. Temperatures of P and Q are 627 °C and 227 °C, respectively. Find the ratio of the rates at which heat is lost from the two substances.

 

Ans. We know that the rate of loss of heat = σ(T 4T4o)

where σ = Stefan's constant, T = temperature of hot body, To = temperature of surroundings.
