Answer: 16×.
- A 2×
- B 4×
- C 8×
- D 16×
Correct answer: D. 16×
Explanation: By Stefan law P ∝ T⁴, so doubling T gives 2⁴ = 16 times the power.
During a phase change (melting or boiling), temperature stays constant while heat is absorbed entirely as latent heat (Q=mL); temperature only rises again once the substance is fully in its new phase.
Concept context
Temperature scales, thermal expansion, calorimetry, and the three modes of heat transfer including radiation laws.
