An object is inside a room that has a constant temperature of 289 K. Via radiation, the object emits three times as much power as it absorbs from the room. What is the temperature (in kelvins) of the object

T_object = 380.35 K

Explanation:

From Stefan–Boltzmann law, the power output is given by the formula:

P = σAT⁴

where;

σ is Stefan-Boltzmann constant

A is area of the radiating surface.

T is temperature of the body

Now, we are told that the power the object emitted is 3 times the power absorbed from the room.

Thus, we have;

P_e = 3P_a

Where P_e is power emitted and P_a is power absorbed.

So, we have;

σA(T_object)⁴ = 3σA (T_room)⁴

σA will cancel out to give;

(T_object)⁴ = 3(T_room)⁴

We are given T_room = 289 K

Thus;

(T_object)⁴ = 3 × 289⁴

(T_object) = ∜(3 × 289⁴)

T_object = 380.35 K
