A spherical black body with a radius of radiates power at . If the radius were halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watts would be:
According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, the power () radiated by a spherical black body is given by , where is the radius and is the absolute temperature. Let the initial power be with radius and temperature . When the radius is halved () and the temperature is doubled (), the new power will be: . Therefore, the power radiated would be .
