Assume that the total surface area of a human body is `1.6m^(2)` and that it radiates like an ideal radiator. Calculate the amount of energy radiates per second by the body if the body temperature is `37^(@)C` . Stefan contant sigma is `6.0xx10^(-s)Wm^(-2)K^(-4)` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`A=1.6 m^2,T=37^(@)C=310^(@)K`
`s=6.0xx10^(-8)W//m^2K^4`
`Energy radiatead per sec `
`=AST^4=1.6xx6xx10^(-8)xx310^4`
`8865801xx10^(-4)=886.58`
`=887J`.
