The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships involving the power radiated by a spherical black body and its rate of cooling. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Power Radiated**: The power radiated by a black body is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann Law: \[ P = \sigma A (T^4 - T_0^4) \] where \( P \) is the power, \( \sigma \) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, \( A \) is the surface area of the body, \( T \) is the temperature of the body, and \( T_0 \) is the temperature of the surroundings. 2. **Calculating the Surface Area**: The surface area \( A \) of a sphere with radius \( n \) is: \[ A = 4\pi n^2 \] 3. **Substituting the Area into the Power Equation**: Substituting the expression for \( A \) into the power equation gives: \[ P = \sigma (4\pi n^2) (T^4 - T_0^4) \] This can be simplified to: \[ P = 4\pi \sigma n^2 (T^4 - T_0^4) \] 4. **Finding the Relationship of Power with Radius**: If we consider \( T \) and \( T_0 \) as constants, we can conclude that: \[ P \propto n^2 \] This means that the power radiated is proportional to the square of the radius of the sphere. 5. **Understanding the Rate of Cooling**: The rate of cooling \( R \) can be expressed as: \[ R = \frac{dT}{dt} = \frac{P}{m c} \] where \( m \) is the mass of the body and \( c \) is the specific heat capacity. 6. **Calculating the Mass**: The mass \( m \) of the spherical body can be expressed as: \[ m = \rho V = \rho \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi n^3\right) \] where \( \rho \) is the density of the material. 7. **Substituting Mass into the Rate of Cooling**: Substituting \( m \) into the rate of cooling equation gives: \[ R = \frac{P}{\rho \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi n^3\right) c} \] 8. **Substituting Power into the Rate of Cooling**: We can substitute the expression for \( P \) into the rate of cooling: \[ R = \frac{4\pi \sigma n^2 (T^4 - T_0^4)}{\rho \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi n^3\right) c} \] Simplifying this expression leads to: \[ R = \frac{3\sigma (T^4 - T_0^4)}{\rho c n} \] 9. **Finding the Relationship of Rate of Cooling with Radius**: From the above equation, we can see that: \[ R \propto \frac{1}{n} \] This indicates that the rate of cooling is inversely proportional to the radius of the sphere. ### Conclusion: - The power radiated \( P \) is proportional to \( n^2 \). - The rate of cooling \( R \) is inversely proportional to \( n \).
