Two glowing objects are radiating energy. One is at 500 K, and the second is 1000 K. What is the ratio of the energy radiation of the 2nd object to the first object?

Step 1
The formula is: \[ E = \sigma T^4 \] where \(\sigma\) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (\(5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{W/m}^2 \text{K}^4\)). Show more…

An object at 2000 K radiates 1000 W. What would be the power radiated and peak wavelength if the temperature of the source were increased to 6000 K? What type of radiation would be the peak wavelength?

The Kelvin temperature of an object is $T_{1},$ and the object radiates a certain amount of energy per second. The Kelvin temperature of the object is then increased to $T_{2},$ and the object radiates twice the energy per second that it radiated at the lower temperature. What is the ratio $T_{2} / T_{1} ?$
