The top of a lake gets frozen at a place where the surrounding air is at a temperature of $-20\,^oC$. Then
AThe temperature of the layer of water in contact with the lower surface of the ice block will be at $0\,^oC$ and that at the bottom of the lake will be $4\,^oC$
BThe temperature of water below the lower surface of ice will be $4\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake
CThe temperature of the water below the lower surface of ice will be $0\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake
DThe temperature of the layer of water immediately in contact with the lower surface of ice will be about $-20\,^oC$ and that of water at the bottom will be $0\,^oC$

Inside a closed furnace held at a temperature of $400\,\, K,$ we have a black body. A hole of area $10\,\, cm^2$ is opened in the furnace so that sunlight starts falling on black body. The intensity of sunlight is $2000\, W/m^2.$ In the steady state
An object is at a temperature of ${400^o}C$. At what temperature would it radiate energy twice as fast? The temperature of the surroundings may be assumed to be negligible
Three rods $AB, BC$ and $AC$ having thermal resistances of $10\, units, \,10 \,units$ and $20 \,units,$ respectively, are connected as shown in the figure. Ends $A$ and $C$ are maintained at constant temperatures of $100^o C$ and $0^o C,$ respectively. The rate at which the heat is crossing junction $B$ is ........ $ \mathrm{units}$
A cylindrical steel rod of length $0.10 \,m$ and thermal conductivity $50 \,Wm ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ is welded end to end to copper rod of thermal conductivity $400 \,Wm ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ and of the same area of cross-section but $0.20 \,m$ long. The free end of the steel rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and that of the copper rod at $0^{\circ} C$. Assuming that the rods are perfectly insulated from the surrounding, the temperature at the junction of the two rods is ................... $^{\circ} C$
Three conducting rods of same material and cross-section are shown in figure. Temperatures of$ A, D$ and $C$ are maintained at $20^o C, 90^o C$ and $0^o C$. The ratio of lengths of $BD$ and $BC$ if there is no heat flow in $AB$ is:
One end of a copper rod of length $1.0\;m$ and area of cross-section ${10^{ - 3}}$ is immersed in boiling water and the other end in ice. If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is $92\;cal/m{\rm{ - }}s{{\rm{ - }}^o}C$ and the latent heat of ice is $8 \times {10^4}cal/kg$, then the amount of ice which will melt in one minute is
The original temperature of a black body is ${727^o}C.$The temperature at which this black body must be raised so as to double the total radiant energy, is ....... $K$
If $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ are the thermal conductivities $L_{1}$ and $L _{2}$ are the lengths and $A _{1}$ and $A _{2}$ are the cross sectional areas of steel and copper rods respectively such that $\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}}=9, \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=2, \frac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}=2$.
Then, for the arrangement as shown in the figure. The value of temperature $T$ of the steel - copper junction in the steady state will be ........... $^{\circ} C$
