The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of the two spheres A and B based on the given information about their sizes and the ratio of their dominating wavelengths. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have two spheres, A with radius \( R \) and B with radius \( 2R \). - The ratio of their dominating wavelengths (\( \lambda_1 \) for sphere A and \( \lambda_2 \) for sphere B) is given as \( \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{1}{2} \). 2. **Using Wien's Displacement Law**: - According to Wien's Displacement Law, the temperature \( T \) of a black body is inversely proportional to its dominating wavelength: \[ T \propto \frac{1}{\lambda} \] - Therefore, we can express the temperatures of the two spheres as: \[ \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \] - This means \( T_1 = 2T_2 \). 3. **Calculating the Rate of Heat Loss**: - The rate of heat loss \( Q \) for a black body is given by: \[ Q = 4 \pi r^2 \sigma T^4 \] - For spheres A and B, we can write: \[ Q_1 = 4 \pi R^2 \sigma T_1^4 \] \[ Q_2 = 4 \pi (2R)^2 \sigma T_2^4 = 16 \pi R^2 \sigma T_2^4 \] 4. **Finding the Ratio of Heat Loss**: - The ratio of heat loss rates \( \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} \) can be expressed as: \[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{4 \pi R^2 \sigma T_1^4}{16 \pi R^2 \sigma T_2^4} = \frac{T_1^4}{4T_2^4} \] - Substituting \( T_1 = 2T_2 \): \[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{(2T_2)^4}{4T_2^4} = \frac{16T_2^4}{4T_2^4} = 4 \] - Thus, \( \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = 4 \), which means the ratio of heat loss is \( 4:1 \). 5. **Calculating the Rate of Cooling**: - The rate of cooling is proportional to the heat loss, so: \[ \frac{dQ/dt_1}{dQ/dt_2} = \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} \cdot \frac{R_2}{R_1^3} \] - Using \( R_1 = R \) and \( R_2 = 2R \): \[ \frac{dQ/dt_1}{dQ/dt_2} = \frac{4}{1} \cdot \frac{2R}{R^3} = 8 \] 6. **Final Analysis**: - The ratio of temperatures \( \frac{T_1}{T_2} = 2 \). - The ratio of heat loss \( \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = 4 \). - The ratio of cooling rates \( \frac{dQ/dt_1}{dQ/dt_2} = 8 \). - The ratio of emissive powers is \( 16 \) (since \( \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{T_1^4}{T_2^4} = 16 \)). ### Conclusion: The statement that is not correct among the options provided is the one that contradicts the calculations above.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of the two spheres A and B based on the given information about their sizes and the ratio of their dominating wavelengths. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have two spheres, A with radius \( R \) and B with radius \( 2R \). - The ratio of their dominating wavelengths (\( \lambda_1 \) for sphere A and \( \lambda_2 \) for sphere B) is given as \( \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{1}{2} \). ...
