[UPSC CSE 2021] Black Body Radiation (Q439, 20M)

The spectral composition of solar radiation is similar to that of a black body radiator whose maximum emission corresponds to the wavelength 0.48\,\mu\mathrm{m}. Find the mass lost by the Sun every second due to radiation. Evaluate the time interval during which the mass of the Sun reduces by 1 per cent. Given: Stefan Boltzmann constant = 5.669 \times 10^{-8}\ \mathrm{W\,m^{-2}\,K^{-4}}, radius of the Sun = 6.957 \times 10^{8}\ \mathrm{m}, surface temperature of the Sun = 5772\ \mathrm{K} and mass of the Sun is 1.9885 \times 10^{30}\ \mathrm{kg}.
