Solution
Stefan's law
From Stefan-Boltzman's law, the energy of the thermal radiation emitted per unit time by a blackbody of surface area A is given by, `u = σAT^4`
Where `σ` is Stefan's constant.
Suppose a body at temperature T is kept in a room at temperature T0.
According to Stefan's law, energy of the thermal radiation emitted by the body per unit time is `u = eσAT^4`
Here, e is the emissivity of the body.
The energy absorbed per unit time by the body is (due to the radiation emitted by the walls of the room
`Δu = eσAT_0^4`
Thus, the net loss of thermal energy per unit time is
`Δu = eσA ( T^4 - T_0^4 )`
Newton law of cooling is given by
`(dT)/(dt) = -bA( T - T_0 )`
This can be obtained from equation (i) by considering the temperature difference to be small and doing the binomial expansion.

- The rate of cooling is constant till milk attains the temperature of the surrounding.
- The temperature of milk falls off exponentially with time.
- While cooling, there is a flow of heat from milk to the surrounding as well as from surrounding to the milk but the net flow of heat is from milk to the surounding and that is why it cools.
