Part 3 of 4
If the temperature decreases by a factor of 2, how much will the energy decrease?
We have two relations for the energy from the two different temperatures.
o(Told) 4
σ(Tnew) 4
E old
E new
We know that if the new temperature is n times less than the old temperature then:
=
=
Told
new
Using this in our expression for Eold gives:
Eold
=nT
=
nªo (Tnew)4
E =
new
4 old
So, the energy will decrease by a factor of

Please help with Part 4 of 4. Thank you!

Part 4 of 4
Star B has a temperature that is 5 times higher than Star A. How much more energy per second (compared to Star A) does it radiate onto a square meter of its surface?
EA = σ(TA) 4
EB = σ(T₂)4
Again, we know that Star B's temperature is n times Star A's.
TB = nTA
EB = σ(nTA) 4
So in terms of Star A's energy, Star B's is:
EB =
EA
