Two balls of same material and finish have their diameters in the ratio of 2 : 1 and both are heated to same temperature and allowed to cool by radiation. Rate of cooling by big ball as compared to smaller one will be in the ratio of

Cooling rate of big sphere / Cooling rate of small sphere = d2 big / d2small

Given, sphere A,B are of some martial
Also heated to same temperature
given that d

(d= diameter of sphere)
we know that
Rate of cooling = σeAT

:Q

=4:1

Correct Answer is D
Rate of heat transfer by radiation = A x T4

Temperature is same for both spheres

A = Surface area

Surface area of sphere = π d2

Cooling rate of big sphere / Cooling rate of small sphere = d2 big / d2small

Hence cooling rate will takes place in the ratio of 4 : 1
