The emissivity of tungsten is 0.4. A tungsten sphere with a radius of 4.0 cm is suspended within a large evacuated enclosure whose walls are at 300 K. What power input is required to maintain the sphere at a temperature of 3000 K if heat conduction along supports is neglected? Take, σ=5.67×10−8 W m−2K−4\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8}\ \text{W m}^{-2}\text{K}^{-4}.
