(d) Area under given curve represents emissive power and emissive power $\propto T_4  \Rightarrow \,\,A \propto {T^4}$

$ \Rightarrow \,\frac{{{A_2}}}{{{A_1}}} = \frac{{T_2^4}}{{T_1^4}} = \frac{{{{(273 + 327)}^4}}}{{{{(273 + 27)}^4}}} = {\left( {\frac{{600}}{{300}}} \right)^4}$= $\frac{{16}}{1}$

    The ends $\mathrm{Q}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ of two thin wires, $\mathrm{PQ}$ and $RS$, are soldered (joined) togetker. Initially each of the wires has a length of $1 \mathrm{~m}$ at $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Now the end $\mathrm{P}$ is maintained at $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, while the end $\mathrm{S}$ is heated and maintained at $400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The system is thermally insulated from its surroundings. If the thermal conductivity of wire $\mathrm{PQ}$ is twice that of the wire $RS$ and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of $P Q$ is $1.2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$, the change in length of the wire $\mathrm{PQ}$ is
