Homework Statement



A spherical black body having R=0.1m and initial temperature T1=10^3 K is cooled by radiation.The surrounding medium is at a temperature T=0K.What time will it take for the temperature of the sphere to drop to T2=100K?
Given heat capacity is C and density d
The answer is :

(CdR/9σ)(T2^(-3) - T1^(-3))

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I think just application of Newton's law of cooling will suffice...Isn't it?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No, u can't use Newton's law of cooling because the temp. difference is large.
U can use stefan's law.
 
OK,I missed...
Then how to proceed?
