    Many exoplanets have been discovered by the transit method, where in one monitors, a dip in the intensity of the parent star as the exoplanet moves in front of it. The exoplanet has a radius $R$ and the parent star has radius $100 \,R$. If $I_0$ is the intensity observed on earth due to the parent star, then as the exoplanet transits

    Parallel rays of light of intensity $I =912 \ Wm ^{-2}$ are incident on a spherical balck body kept in surroundings of temperature $300 \ K$. Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant $\sigma=5.7 \times 10^{-8} Wm ^{-2} K ^{-4}$ and assume that the energy exchange with the surroundings is only through radiation. Th final steady state temperature of the black body is close to:
