Assertion : The equivalent thermal conductivity of two plates of same thickness in contact is less than the smaller value of thermal conductivity.
Reason : For two plates of equal thickness in contact the equivalent thermal conductivity is given by : $\frac{1}{K} = \frac{1}{{{K_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{K_2}}}$

    Two spherical bodies $\mathrm{A}$ (radius $6 \mathrm{~cm}$ ) and $\mathrm{B}$ (radius $18 \mathrm{~cm}$ ) are at temperature $\mathrm{T}_1$ and $\mathrm{T}_2$, respectively. The maximum intensity in the emission spectrum of $\mathrm{A}$ is at $500 \mathrm{~nm}$ and in that of $\mathrm{B}$ is at $1500 \mathrm{~nm}$. Considering them to be black bodies, what will be the ratio of the rate of total energy radiated by $A$ to that of $B$ ?
