Does a body radiate heat at 0 K ? Does it radiate heat at `0^(@)C` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to prevost`s theory every body above zero keloin will radiate heat energy to the surroundings.
So, (i) A body at `0` kelvin does not radiate heat energy .
(ii) A body at `0 C` i.e., at 273K will radiate heat energy.

A body does not emit heat energy at

(A) : A body that is a good radiator is also a good absorber of radiation at a given wavelength. ( R) : According to Kirchoff's law the absorptivity of a body is equal to its emissivity at a given wavelength.

(A) : Bodies radiate heat at all temperatures. ( R) : Rate of radiation of heat is inversely proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature.

Heat loss takes place from a body maintained at a temperature of 400^(@)C to the surrounding air at 30^(@)C by convection and to the surrounding surfaces at 30^(@)C by radiation. The Newton's cooling coefficient is 20 W//m^(2) K and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.67 xx 10^(-8) W//m^(2)K^(4) . If the rate of heat loss by convection is equal to the rate of heat loss by radiation, the emissivity of the body surface is

At 27^(@) C if the energy radiated by a body in a given interval of time is 162 cal. Then at 127^(@) C the energy radiated by it in the same time wil be

A spherical black body with a radius of 12 cm radiates 450 watt power at 500 K. If the radius were halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watt would be:
