A point source of light of power `P_(0)` is placed at a distance of 4 m from the centre of a thin hemispherical shell as shown in the figure, The shell has a radius of 3 m and it behaves like a perfect black body. If the temperature of the hemisphere is related to the power of the sourcec as `T^(4)=(p_(0))/(n pi sigma)` where `sigma` is the stefan's constant, then find the value of `(n)/(10)`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \frac{n}{10} \) based on the relationship between the temperature \( T \) of the hemispherical shell and the power \( P_0 \) of the light source. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - We have a point source of light with power \( P_0 \) located 4 m from the center of a thin hemispherical shell of radius 3 m. - The distance from the source to the edge of the hemisphere can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. The distance from the source to the center is 4 m, and the radius of the hemisphere is 3 m. 2. **Finding the Angle**: - Let \( \theta \) be the angle subtended by the radius of the hemisphere at the source. By the Pythagorean theorem: \[ \text{Distance from the source to the edge of the hemisphere} = \sqrt{(4^2) + (3^2)} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = 5 \text{ m} \] - Therefore, we can find \( \cos \theta \): \[ \cos \theta = \frac{3}{5} \] 3. **Calculating the Solid Angle**: - The solid angle \( \Omega \) subtended by the hemisphere at the source can be calculated using: \[ \Omega = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\theta} \sin \theta \, d\theta \, d\phi \] - This simplifies to: \[ \Omega = 2\pi \int_0^{\theta} \sin \theta \, d\theta = 2\pi \left[-\cos \theta\right]_0^{\theta} = 2\pi (1 - \cos \theta) \] - Substituting \( \cos \theta = \frac{4}{5} \): \[ \Omega = 2\pi \left(1 - \frac{4}{5}\right) = 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{5}\right) = \frac{2\pi}{5} \] 4. **Energy Radiated**: - The energy radiated by the source into the solid angle is given by: \[ \frac{P_0 \cdot \Omega}{4\pi} = \sigma T^4 \cdot A \] - The area \( A \) of the hemisphere is: \[ A = \pi r^2 = \pi (3^2) = 9\pi \] - Therefore, we have: \[ \frac{P_0 \cdot \frac{2\pi}{5}}{4\pi} = \sigma T^4 \cdot 9\pi \] - Simplifying gives: \[ \frac{P_0 \cdot 2}{20} = 9\sigma T^4 \] 5. **Relating Temperature to Power**: - Rearranging gives: \[ P_0 = 90 \sigma T^4 \] - According to the problem, we have: \[ T^4 = \frac{P_0}{n \pi \sigma} \] - Equating the two expressions for \( P_0 \): \[ 90 \sigma T^4 = n \pi \sigma T^4 \] - Dividing both sides by \( \sigma T^4 \) (assuming \( T \neq 0 \)): \[ n = 90 \] 6. **Finding \( \frac{n}{10} \)**: - Finally, we calculate: \[ \frac{n}{10} = \frac{90}{10} = 9 \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{n}{10} = 9 \]
