Two identical metal balls, one at T 1 =300 K and the other at T 2 =600 K are kept at a distance of 1 m in vacuum. Will the temperatures equalize by radiation? Will the rate of heat gained by the colder sphere be proportional to T 24 -T 14 as may be expected from the Stefan’s law?

Yes it will. If you neglect convection, time taken to neutralize would be longer.
The above relation is valid for radiation energy transfer. Formula for convection is proportional to temperature difference.
