Problem

A black metal plate of area 0.50 m20.50\,\text{m}^2 is initially at 500 K500\,\text{K} and emits radiation accordingly. It is uniformly heated so that its radiant power output increases by 32 kW32\,\text{kW}. Calculate the new steady temperature of the plate. (Use σ=5.67×10−8 W m−2 K−4\sigma = 5.67\times10^{-8}\,\text{W m}^{-2}\,\text{K}^{-4}.)
