A human body has a surface area of approximately 1 `m^2`. The normal body temperature is 10 K above the surrounding room temperature `T_0`. Take the room temperature to be `T_0 = 300 K`. For `T_0 = 300 K`, the value of `sigmaT_0^4=460 Wm^(-2)` (where `sigma` is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant). Which of the following options is/are correct?

A

If the surrounding temperature reduces by a small amount `Delta t_0 lt lt T_0`, then to maintain the same body temperature the same (living) human being needs-to radiate `Delta W = 4 sigma T_0^3 Delta T_0` more energy per unit time

B

Reducing the exposed surface area of the body (e.g. by curling up) allows humans to maintain the same body temperature while reducing the energy lost by radiation

C

If the body temperature rises significantly then the peak in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the body would shift to longer wavelengths

D

The amount of energy radiated by the body in 1 second is close to 60 Joules
