D)16

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Stefan-Boltzmann law, the radiation rate of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature. Thus, if the temperature is doubled (i.e., increased by a factor of 2), the radiation rate would increase by a factor of 2^4 = 16. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, 16.
