Heat transfer by radiation between two bodies at T1 & T2 and in an ambient temperature of Ta°C depends on_____________?

Correct answer: D. None of these

  • A. T1 - T2
  • B. T1 - Ta
  • C. T2 - Ta
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Radiative heat exchange depends on the fourth powers of absolute temperatures, such as T₁⁴ − T₂⁴, rather than on any simple temperature difference listed. The ambient temperature may affect the surroundings exchange, but none of options gives the required fourth-power relation.
