Problem

Two identical plates, each of area

0.05\,\text{m}^2

, are kept in vacuum. Plate A has emissivity 0.6 and is at

. Plate B has emissivity 0.8. At what temperature must plate B be kept so that both plates radiate the same power? a)

650\,\text{K}

560\,\text{K}

600\,\text{K}

520\,\text{K}
