c (c) $\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}} = - KA\frac{{d\theta }}{{dx}}$
( $\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}},$ $K$ and $A$ are constants for all points
$ \Rightarrow \,\,d\theta \propto - dx$; i.e. temperature will decrease linearly with $x$ .

A rod of length $L$ and uniform cross-sectional area has varying thermal conductivity which changes linearly from $2K$ at endAto $K$ at the other end $B$. The endsA and $B$ of the rod are maintained at constant temperature $100^o C$ and $0^o C$, respectively. At steady state, the graph of temperature : $T = T(x)$ where $x =$ distance from end $A$ will be
The maximum wavelength of radiations emitted at $900\,K$ is $4\mu m$. What will be the maximum wavelength of radiations emitted at $1200 \,K$ ......... $\mu m$
A black body radiates at the rate of $W$ watts at a temperature $T$ . If the temperature of the body is reduced to $T/3$ , it will radiate at the rate of (in Watts)
A copper pipe of length $10 \,m$ carries steam at temperature $110^{\circ} C$. The outer surface of the pipe is maintained at a temperature $10^{\circ} C$. The inner and outer radii of the pipe are $2 \,cm$ and $4 \,cm$, respectively. The thermal conductivity of copper is $0.38 kW / m /{ }^{\circ} C$. In the steady state, the rate at which heat flows radially outward through the pipe is closest to ............. $\,kW$
As per the given figure, two plates $A$ and $B$ of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2 K$ are joined together to form a compound plate. The thickness of plates are $4.0 \,cm$ and $2.5 \,cm$ respectively and the area of cross-section is $120 \,cm ^{2}$ for each plate. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the compound plate is $\left(1+\frac{5}{\alpha}\right) K$, then the value of $\alpha$ will be_______
