A large cavity that has a very small hole and is maintained at a temperature T is a good approximation to an ideal radiator or blackbody. Radiation can pass into or out of the cavity only through the hole. The cavity is a perfect absorber, since any radiation incident on the hole becomes trapped inside the cavity. Such a cavity at 500.C has a hole with area 6.00 mm2. How long does it take for the cavity to radiate 300 J of energy through the hole?

Suppose someone is running a fever of 102.0° F (average being 98.6° F).
