Question
State (i) Stefan-Boltmann law and
(ii) Wein’s displacement law.

Answer

(i) The Stefan-Boltzmann law : The rate of emission of radiant energy per unit area or the power radiated per unit area of a perfect blackbody is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature. OR
The quantity of radiant energy emitted by a perfect blackbody per unit time per unit surface area of the body is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
(ii) Wien’s displacement law : The wavelength for which the emissive power of a blackbody is maximum, is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the blackbody.
OR
For a blackbody at an absolute temperature T, the product of T and the wavelength $\lambda _m$​​​​​​​ corresponding to the maximum radiation of energy is a constant.
$λ_mT$ = b, a constant.
[Notes: (1) The law stated above was stated by Wilhelm Wien (1864-1928) German Physicist. (2) The value of the constant b in Wien’s displacement law is $2.898 \times 10^{-3} m.K.$]

A homogeneous (uniform) rod $X Y$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pivoted at the centre $C$ such that it can rotate freely in a vertical plane. Initially, the rod is horizontal. A blob of wax of the same mass $M$ as that of the rod falls vertically with speed $V$ and sticks to the rod midway between points $\mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{Y}$. As a result, the rod rotates with angular speed $\omega$. What will be the angular speed in terms of $\mathrm{V}$ and $\mathrm{L}$ ?

An amusement park ride (known variously as the Rotor, the Turkish Twist and the Gravitron) consists of a large vertical cylinder that is spun about it axis fast enough such that the riders remain pinned against its inner wall. The floor drops away once the cylinder has attained its full rotational speed. The radius of the cylinder is $R$ and the coefficient of static friction between a rider and the wall is $\mu_{\mathrm{s}}$.
