(c) Rate of cooling ${R_C} = \frac{{A\varepsilon \sigma ({T^4} - T_0^4)}}{{mc}}$$ = \frac{{A\varepsilon \sigma ({T^4} - T_0^4)}}{{V\rho C}}$

==> ${R_C} \propto \frac{A}{V} \propto \frac{1}{r} \propto \,\frac{1}{{({\rm{Diameter)}}}}$        $(\because \,m = \rho V)$

Since diameter of $A$ is half that of $B $ so it's rate of cooling will be doubled that of B

    The filament of a light bulb has surface area $64 mm ^2$. The filament can be considered as a black body at temperature $2500 K$ emitting radiation like a point source when viewed from far. At night the light bulb is observed from a distance of $100 m$. Assume the pupil of the eyes of the observer to be circular with radius $3 mm$. Then

    (Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant $=5.67 \times 10^{-8} Wm ^{-2} K ^{-4}$, Wien's displacement constant $=2.90 \times 10^{-3} m - K$, Planck's constant $=6.63 \times 10^{-34} Js$, speed of light in vacuum $=3.00 \times 10^8 ms ^{-1}$ )-

    $(A)$ power radiated by the filament is in the range $642 W$ to $645 W$

    $(B)$ radiated power entering into one eye of the observer is in the range $3.15 \times 10^{-8} W$ to $3.25 \times 10^{-8} W$

    $(C)$ the wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity of light is $1160 nm$

    $(D)$ taking the average wavelength of emitted radiation to be $1740 nm$, the total number of photons entering per second into one eye of the observer is in the range $2.75 \times 10^{11}$ to $2.85 \times 10^{11}$
