A body's current radiation rate is 30% higher than it was an hour ago. Calculate the percentage by which your temperature increased.

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.8%

Explanation:

According to Stefan-Boltzmann law, radiation is directly proportional with temperature raised to the fourth power:

P ∝ T⁴

Writing a proportion:

P₁ / P₂ = T₁⁴ / T₂⁴

1.3P / P = (T₁ / T₂)⁴

T₁ / T₂ = ∜1.3

T₁ = 1.068 T₂

The temperature increased by 6.8%.
