Problem

A circular metal plate of radius 10 cm10\,\text{cm} behaves like a grey body with emissivity 0.700.70. Its peak emission occurs at λmax⁡=2.0 μm\lambda_{\max}=2.0\,\mu\text{m}. Take σ=5.67×10−8 W m−2 K−4\sigma = 5.67\times10^{-8}\,\text{W\,m}^{-2}\,\text{K}^{-4} and b=2.898×10−3 m Kb = 2.898\times10^{-3}\,\text{m\,K}. (i) Determine the absolute temperature of the plate. (ii) Calculate the total power radiated from one face of the plate.
