A student is trying to decide what to wear.His bedroom is at 20°c.His skin Temperature is 35.0°c.The area of his exposed skin is 1.50 sq.mitres.People all over the world have skin that is dark in the infrared,with emessivity about 0.900.Find the net energy transfer from his body by radiation in 10.0 minutes.
In an old house, the heating system uses radiators, which are hollow metal devices through which hot water or steam circulates. In one room the radiator has a dark color (emissitivity = 0.830). It has a temperature of 64.1 oC. The new owner of the house paints the radiator a lighter color (emissitivity = 0.426). Assuming that it emits the same radiant power as it did before being painted, what is the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the newly painted radiator?
