Options:
  • A $Q / 4 \pi R^{2} \sigma$
  • B $\left(\mathrm{Q} / 4 \pi R^{2} \sigma\right)^{-1 / 2}$
  • C $\left(4 \pi R^{2} Q / \sigma\right)^{1 / 4}$
  • D $\left(\mathrm{Q} / 4 \pi R^{2} \sigma\right)^{1 / 4}$

The correct answer is: $\left(\mathrm{Q} / 4 \pi R^{2} \sigma\right)^{1 / 4}$
Stefan's law for black bodyradiation $Q=\sigma e A T^{4}$

$$

T=\left[\frac{Q}{\sigma\left(4 \pi R^{2}\right)}\right]^{1 / 4}

$$

Here $e=1$

$$

A=4 \pi R^{2}

$$
