Answer:

The rate at which it will radiate heat is closest to 127.2J.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Stefan's law, the heat radiated by a black body can be written as:


(dH)/(dt) is directly proprtional to the
T^(4).

where H is the amount of heat radiated and T is the surface temperature .

Example : The heat is transferred by radiation and an example of heat transferred by radiation is the sunlight reaching earth from sun.

Note : Here the temperature is expressed in Kelvin.

  • Initial rate of heat ,
    (dH_(1))/(dt)=67J/s
  • Final rate of heat ,
    (dH_(2))/(dt)= unknown
  • Initial temperature ,
    T_(1)=374K
  • Final temperature ,
    T_(2)=439K


(H_1)/(T_(1)^4)=(H_2)/(T_(2)^4)


H_(2)=67*1.898


H_(2)=127.2.

The rate at which it will radiate heat is closest to 127.2J.
