In an old house, the heating system uses radiators, which are hollow metal devices through which hot water or steam circulates. In one room the radiator has a dark color (emissivity 5 0.75). It has a temperature of 62 °C. The new owner of the house paints the radiator a lighter color (emissivity = 0.50). Assuming that it emits the same radiant power as it did before being painted, what is the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the newly painted radiator? |
