There are two cavities (Fig.) with small holes of equal diameters d = 1.0 cm and perfectly reflecting outer surfaces. The distance between the holes is l = 10 cm. A constant temperature T_(1) = 1700K is maintained in cavity 1. Calculate the steady-state temperature inside cavity 2.

Solution :Taking account of cosine low of emission we write for the enegry radiated per second by the hole in cavity `# 1` as
`di(OMEGA) = A cos thetad Omega`
where `A` is an consatnt, `d Omega` is an element of SOLID angle around some DIRECTION defined by the symbol `Omega`. Integrating over the whole forwed hemisphere we get
`I = A underset(0)overset(pi//2)int cos theta2pi sin theta d theta = pi 4`

We find `A` by equating this to the quantity `sigmaT_(1)^(4).(pid^(2))/(4)sigma` is stefan-Boltzman constant and `d` is the diameter of the hole.
Then `A = (1)/(4) sigma d^(2)T_(1)^(4)`
Now energy reaching `2` form `1` is `(cos theta = 1)`
`(1)/(4)sigmad^(2)T_(1)^(4).Delta Omega`
where `Delta Omega = ((pid^(2)//4))/(l^(2))`is the solid angle substended by the hole of `2` at `1`. {We are ASSUMING `dlt lt l` so `Delta Omega =` area of hole`//("disatnce")^(2)}`.
This must equal `sigmaT_(2)^(4)pid^(2)//4`
which is the energy EMITTED by `2`. Thus equating
`(1)/(4)sigmad^(2)T_(1)^(4) (pid^(2))/(4l^(2)) = sigmaT_(2)^(4) (pid^(2))/(4)`
or `T_(2) = T_(1) sqrt((d)/(2l))`
Substituting we get `T_(2) = 0.380kK = 380 K`.
