Two metallic spheres ${S_1}$ and ${S_2}$are made of the same material and have identical surface finish. The mass of ${S_1}$ is three times that of ${S_2}$. Both the spheres are heated to the same high temperature and placed in the same room having lower temperature but are thermally insulated from each other. The ratio of the initial rate of cooling of ${S_1}$ to that of ${S_2}$ is
  • A$1/3$
  • B${(1/3)^{1/3}}$
  • C$1/\sqrt 3 $
  • D$\sqrt 3 /1$

    The filament of a light bulb has surface area $64 mm ^2$. The filament can be considered as a black body at temperature $2500 K$ emitting radiation like a point source when viewed from far. At night the light bulb is observed from a distance of $100 m$. Assume the pupil of the eyes of the observer to be circular with radius $3 mm$. Then

    (Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant $=5.67 \times 10^{-8} Wm ^{-2} K ^{-4}$, Wien's displacement constant $=2.90 \times 10^{-3} m - K$, Planck's constant $=6.63 \times 10^{-34} Js$, speed of light in vacuum $=3.00 \times 10^8 ms ^{-1}$ )-

    $(A)$ power radiated by the filament is in the range $642 W$ to $645 W$

    $(B)$ radiated power entering into one eye of the observer is in the range $3.15 \times 10^{-8} W$ to $3.25 \times 10^{-8} W$

    $(C)$ the wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity of light is $1160 nm$

    $(D)$ taking the average wavelength of emitted radiation to be $1740 nm$, the total number of photons entering per second into one eye of the observer is in the range $2.75 \times 10^{11}$ to $2.85 \times 10^{11}$
