Three discs $A, B$ and $C$ having radii $2\; m, 4\;m,$ and $6 \;m$, respectively are coated with carbon black on their outer surfaces. The wavelengths corresponding to maximum intensity are $300\; nm, 400\; nm$ and $500\; nm$, respectively. The power radiated by them are $Q_A,Q_B$ and $Q_C$ respectively.

(b) Radiated power$P = A\varepsilon \sigma {T^4}$

==> P$ \propto A{T^4}$
From Wein’s law, ${\lambda _m}T = $constant

==> $T \propto \frac{1}{{{\lambda _m}}}$
 $P \propto \frac{A}{{{{({\lambda _m})}^4}}} \propto \frac{{{r^2}}}{{{{({\lambda _m})}^4}}}$

==> ${Q_A}:{Q_B}:{Q_C} = \frac{{{2^2}}}{{{{(300)}^4}}}:\frac{{{4^2}}}{{{{(400)}^4}}}:\frac{{{6^2}}}{{{{(500)}^4}}}$

 ${Q_B}$ will be maximum.

    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

    Two plates $A$ and $B$ have thermal conductivities $84\,Wm ^{-1}\,K ^{-1}$ and $126\,Wm ^{-1}\,K ^{-1}$ respectively. They have same surface area and same thickness. They are placed in contact along their surfaces. If the temperatures of the outer surfaces of $A$ and $B$ are kept at $100^{\circ}\,C$ and $0{ }^{\circ}\,C$ respectively, then the temperature of the surface of contact in steady state is $..........\,{ }^{\circ} C$.
