A spherical black body with a radius of $24\;cm$ radiates $440\;W$ power at $500\;K$. If the radius were halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watt would be
Two metal cubes $A$ and $B$ of same size are arranged as shown in the figure. The extreme ends of the combination are maintained at the indicated temperatures. The arrangement is thermally insulated. The coefficients of thermal conductivity of $A$ and $B$ are $300\;W/m{\;^o}C$ and $200\;W/m{\;^o}C$, respectively. After steady state is reached, the temperature of the interface will be...... $^oC$
A black body radiates energy at the rate of $1 \times 10^5 J / s \times m^2$ at temperature of $227^o C$. The temperature to which it must be heated so that it radiates energy at rate of $1 \times 10^9J/s m^2$, is
An ice box used for keeping eatable cold has a total wall area of $1\;metr{e^2}$ and a wall thickness of $5.0cm$. The thermal conductivity of the ice box is $K = 0.01\;joule/metre{ - ^o}C$. It is filled with ice at ${0^o}C$ along with eatables on a day when the temperature is $30°C$ . The latent heat of fusion of ice is $334 \times {10^3}joules/kg$. The amount of ice melted in one day is ........ $gms$ ($1day = 86,400\;\sec onds$)
The spectrum of a black body at two temperatures $27^oC$ and $327^oC$ is shown in the figure. Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be the areas under the two curves respectively. The value of $\frac{{{A_2}}}{{{A_1}}}$ is
The following three objects $(1)$ a metal tray, $(2)$ a block of wood and $(3)$ a woolen cap are left in a closed room overnight. Next day, the temperature of each is recorded as $T_1, T_2$ and $T_3$, respectively. The likely situation is
A sphere of ice at $0^o C$ having initial radius $R$ is placed in an environment having ambient temperature $> 0^o C$. The ice melts uniformly, such that shape remains spherical. After a time $‘t’$ the radius of the sphere has reduced to$r$. Assuming the rate of heat absorption is proportional to the surface area of the sphere at any moment, which graph best depicts $r (t)$.
Three rods of Copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a $Y$ shaped structure. Area of cross - section of each rod $= 4\ cm^2$ . End of copper rod is maintained at $100^o C $ where as ends ofbrass and steel are kept at $0^o C$. Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are $46, 13$ and $12\ cms$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings excepts at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are $0.92, 0.26$ and $0.12\ CGS$ units respectively. Rate ofheat flow through copper rod is ....... $cal\, s^{-1}$
