Problem
Two perfect blackbodies are kept at different temperatures.
(i) Find the ratio of their rates of energy emission per unit area if their temperatures are 800K and 1200K respectively.
(ii) If the cooler body has an area of 2.0m2, what must be the area of the hotter body so that both bodies emit the same total radiant power?
