The total radiant energy per unit area, normal to the direction of incidence, received at a distance \(R\) from the centre of a star of radius \(r,\) whose outer surface radiates as a black body at a temperature \(T\) K is given by: (Where \(\sigma\) is Stefan’s constant):

1. \(\dfrac{\sigma r^{2}T^{4}}{R^{2}}\) 2. \(\dfrac{\sigma r^{2}T^{4}}{4 \pi R^{2}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{\sigma r^{2}T^{4}}{R^{4}}\) 4. \(\dfrac{4\pi\sigma r^{2}T^{4}}{R^{2}}\)

A black body at \(227^{\circ}~\mathrm{C}\) radiates heat at the rate of \(7~ \mathrm{cal-cm^{-2}s^{-1}}\).  At a temperature of \(727^{\circ}~\mathrm{C}\), the rate of heat radiated in the same units will be:
1. \(60\)
2. \(50\)
3. \(112\)
4. \(80\)
