The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the two solid spheres A and B, their properties, and the implications of their sizes and temperatures based on the laws of thermodynamics and radiation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have two spheres, A with radius \( R \) and B with radius \( 2R \). - Both spheres are made of the same material and are painted black, which means they are perfect black bodies. - The dominating wavelengths in their spectrum are in the ratio \( 1:2 \). 2. **Using Wien's Displacement Law**: - Wien's Displacement Law states that the wavelength \( \lambda \) at which the emission of a black body spectrum is maximum is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature \( T \): \[ \lambda \propto \frac{1}{T} \] - If the ratio of the wavelengths is \( \lambda_A : \lambda_B = 1 : 2 \), then we can express this in terms of temperature: \[ \frac{\lambda_A}{\lambda_B} = \frac{T_B}{T_A} = \frac{1}{2} \] - This implies: \[ T_B = 2T_A \] 3. **Calculating Heat Loss**: - The rate of heat loss \( Q \) for a black body is given by: \[ Q = \sigma A T^4 \] - Where \( A \) is the surface area and \( \sigma \) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. - For sphere A: \[ A_A = 4\pi R^2 \quad \text{and} \quad Q_A = \sigma (4\pi R^2) T_A^4 \] - For sphere B: \[ A_B = 4\pi (2R)^2 = 16\pi R^2 \quad \text{and} \quad Q_B = \sigma (16\pi R^2) T_B^4 \] 4. **Finding the Ratio of Heat Loss**: - The ratio of heat loss \( \frac{Q_A}{Q_B} \): \[ \frac{Q_A}{Q_B} = \frac{\sigma (4\pi R^2) T_A^4}{\sigma (16\pi R^2) T_B^4} = \frac{4 T_A^4}{16 T_B^4} = \frac{1}{4} \left(\frac{T_A}{T_B}\right)^4 \] - Substituting \( T_B = 2T_A \): \[ \frac{Q_A}{Q_B} = \frac{1}{4} \left(\frac{T_A}{2T_A}\right)^4 = \frac{1}{4} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4 = \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{64} \] 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - The options likely involve the ratios of heat loss, rates of cooling, temperatures, and emissive powers. - We have established that: - The ratio of heat loss \( Q_A : Q_B = 1 : 64 \) - The ratio of temperatures \( T_A : T_B = 1 : 2 \) - The emissive power is proportional to \( T^4 \), leading to a ratio of \( 1 : 16 \). 6. **Conclusion**: - The statement that is not correct will be the one that contradicts our findings. For instance, if any option states that the ratio of heat loss is \( 1:4 \) or \( 1:16 \), it would be incorrect based on our calculations.
