An object is inside a room that has a constant temperature of 289 K. Via radiation, the object emits three times as much power as it absorbs from the room. What is the temperature (in kelvins) of the object

Respuesta :

Answer:

T_object = 380.35 K

Explanation:

From Stefan–Boltzmann law, the power output is given by the formula:

P = σAT⁴

where;

σ is Stefan-Boltzmann constant

A is area of the radiating surface.

T is temperature of the body

Now, we are told that the power the object emitted is 3 times the power absorbed from the room.

Thus, we have;

P_e = 3P_a

Where P_e is power emitted and P_a is power absorbed.

So, we have;

σA(T_object)⁴ = 3σA (T_room)⁴

σA will cancel out to give;

(T_object)⁴ = 3(T_room)⁴

We are given T_room = 289 K

Thus;

(T_object)⁴ = 3 × 289⁴

(T_object) = ∜(3 × 289⁴)

T_object = 380.35 K
