Q.

A spherical body of area A and emissivity e=0.6 is kept inside a perfectly black body. Total heat radiated by the body at temperature T                          [2005]

1 0.4AT4  
2 0.8AT4  
3 0.6AT4  
4 1.0AT4

By Stefan's law

For black body, PA=σT4

For hot bodies other than black body, PA=eσAT4

Now, when such hot body is kept inside a perfectly black body, the total thermal radiation is sum of emitted radiations (in open) and the part of incident radiations reflected from the walls of the perfectly black body. This will give black body radiations, hence the total radiation emitted by the body will be  P=1.0eσAT4.
