The solar energy incident on the roof in 1 hour of dimension $ 8m \times 20m$ will be

  1. $5.76\times { 10 }^{ 8 }J$

  2. $5.76\times { 10 }^{ 7 }J$

  3. $5.76\times { 10 }^{ 6 }J$

  4. $5.76\times { 10 }^{ 5 }J$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Here the power per unit area is given, $I=10^3  W/m^2$

So, the total power $=I\times $ area of roof $=10^3\times (8\times 20)=1.6\times 10^5 W$ 
Since power is the energy divided by time so, energy, $E=Pt=1.6\times 10^5 \times (3600)=5.76\times 10^8  J$

The Sun delivers ${{10}^{3}}W/{{m}^{2}}$ of electromagnetic flux to the Earth's surface.The total power that is incident on a roof of dimensions $8m\times 20m$, will be

  1. $6.4\times { 10 }^{ 3 }W$

  2. $3.4\times { 10 }^{ 4 }W$

  3. $1.6\times { 10 }^{ 5 }W$

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Here the power per unit area is given, $I=10^3  W/m^2$

So, the total power $=I\times $ area of roof $=10^3\times (8\times 20)=1.6\times 10^5 W$ 

Choose the correct relation, when the temperature of an isolated black body falls from $T _{1}$ to $T _{2}$ in time $'t'$, and assume $'c'$ to be a constant.

  1. $t - c \left (\dfrac {1}{T _{2}} - \dfrac {1}{T _{1}}\right )$

  2. $t = c \left (\dfrac {1}{T _{2}^{2}} - \dfrac {1}{T _{1}^{2}}\right )$

  3. $t = c \left (\dfrac {1}{T _{2}^{3}} - \dfrac {1}{T _{1}^{3}}\right )$

  4. $t = c \left (\dfrac {1}{T _{2}^{4}} - \dfrac {1}{T _{1}^{4}}\right )$


Correct Option: C

Calculate the surface temperature of the planet, if the energy radiated by unit area in unit time is $5.67 \times 10^4$ watt.

  1. $1273^{\circ}C$

  2. $1000^{\circ}C$

  3. $727^{\circ}C$

  4. 727K


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to stefan's Boltzmann law, the energy radiated per unit time:
$E=\sigma A{ T }^{ 4 }$
It is given that: ${E}={5.67}\times{10}^{4}$
Therefore, ${5.67}\times{10}^{4}={5.67}\times{10}^{-8}\times1\times{T}^{4}$
So, ${T}={1000}K$
${T}={1000-273}={727} \  ^oC$
