According to the question, Area of both bodies A and B=A Temperature of body A=27∘C=27+273K Temperature of body B=177∘C=177+273K Now, by Stefan-Boltzmann law, thermal energy radiated per second by a body Q=σAT4 where, A = Area T= temperature and σ= Stefan-Boltzmam's constant So, the ratio of thermal energy radiated per second by A to that by B is ‌
