Q.4 A human body has a surface area of approximately 1 m!
. The normal body temperature is
10 K above the surrounding room temperature 𝑇!. Take the room temperature to be
𝑇! = 300 K. For 𝑇! = 300 K, the value of 𝜎𝑇!
!
= 460 Wm!!
(where 𝜎 is the Stefan-
Boltzmann constant). Which of the following options is/are correct?
[A] The amount of energy radiated by the body in 1 second is close to 60 Joules
[B] If the surrounding temperature reduces by a small amount ∆𝑇! ≪ 𝑇!, then to

maintain the same body temperature while reducing the energy lost by radiation
[D] If the body temperature rises significantly then the peak in the spectrum of
electromagnetic radiation emitted by the body would shift to longer wavelengths
