For the figure shown, when arc $ACD$ and $ADB$ are made of same material, the heat carried between $A$ and $B$ is $H$ . If $ADB$ is replaced with another material, the heat carried becomes $2H$ . If the temperatures at $A$ and $B$ are fixed at $T_1$ and $T_2$ , what is the ratio of the new conductivity to the old one of $ADB$

$\left(\frac{\mathrm{KA}(\Delta \mathrm{T})}{3 \ell}+\frac{(\mathrm{KA}) \Delta \mathrm{T}}{\ell}\right) \times 2$

$=\left(\frac{(\mathrm{KA}) \Delta \mathrm{T}}{3 \ell}+\frac{\left(\mathrm{K}^{\prime}\right) \mathrm{A} \Delta \mathrm{T}}{\ell}\right)$

$\frac{4 \mathrm{K}}{3} \times 2=\frac{\mathrm{K}}{3}+\mathrm{K}^{\prime}$

$K^{\prime}=\frac{7 K}{3}$

    A composite block is made of slabs $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ of different thermal conductivities (given in terms of a constant $K$ ) and sizes (given in terms of length, $L$ ) as shown in the figure. All slabs are of same width. Heat $'Q'$ flows only from left to right through the blocks. Then in steady state $Image$

    $(A)$ heat flow through $A$ and $E$ slabs are same.

    $(B)$ heat flow through slab $E$ is maximum.

    $(C)$ temperature difference across slab $E$ is smallest.

    $(D)$ heat flow through $C =$ heat flow through $B +$ heat flow through $D$.

    A human body has a surface area of approximately $1 \mathrm{~m}^2$. The normal body temperature is $10 \mathrm{~K}$ above the surrounding room temperature $T_0$. Take the room temperature to be $T_0=300 \mathrm{~K}$. For $T_0=300 \mathrm{~K}$, and the value of $\sigma \mathrm{T}_0^4=460 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ (where $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant). Which of the following option is/are correct?

    [$A$] The amount of energy radiated by the body in $1$ second is close to $60$ Joules.

    [$B$] If the surrounding temperature reduces by a small amount $\Delta \mathrm{T}_0<<\mathrm{T}_0$, then to maintain the same body temperature the same (living) human being needs to radiate $\Delta \mathrm{W}=4 \sigma \mathrm{T}_0^3 \Delta \mathrm{T}_0$ more energy per unit time.

    [$C$] Reducing the exposed surface area of the body ($e.g$ by curling up) allows humans to maintain the same body temperature while reducing the energy lost by radiation.

    [$D$] If the body temperature rises significantly then the peak in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the body would shift to longer wavelengths.
