A small object is placed at the centre of a large evacuated hollow spherical container. Assume the container is maintained at 0 K. At time t=0, the temperature of the object is 200 K. The temperature of the object becomes 100 K at t=t1 and 50 K at t=t2. Assume the object and the container to be ideal black bodies. The heat capacity of the object does not depend on temperature. The ratio t2t1 _________ .

Solution

Using Stefan-Boltzmann law,

P=dQdt=σeATB4TS4,      TS=0 K

So,

dQdt=eσAT4,    consider, T=TB

also,    

dQdt=-msdTdt=eσAT4

-200TdTT4=0tkdt, where k=σAms

1T312003=3kt

Now, 

For case 1

1100312003=3kt1       ...1

For case 2

150312003=3kt2       ...2

Divide equation 2 by 1,

1503120031100312003=t2t1

So, t2t1=9
