[UPSC IFoS 2010] Black Body Radiation (Q471, 10M)
The following inputs are given : \begin{align*} T_0 &= 5500\text{ K} && \text{(Sun surface temperature)}, \ R &= 7 \times 10^{10}\text{ cm} && \text{(Sun radius)}, \ r &= 6\cdot 4 \times 10^8\text{ cm} && \text{(Earth radius)}, \ D &= 1\cdot 5 \times 10^{13}\text{ cm} && \text{(Sun--Earth distance)}. \end{align*} Assume that the earth and the sun both absorb all electromagnetic radiations incident on them, and that the earth is at a constant temperature T over the day-night cycle. Calculate T.
