(a)For black body, $P = A\varepsilon \sigma {T^4}$. For same power $A \propto \frac{1}{{{T^4}}}$

==> ${\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^2} = {\left( {\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}} \right)^4}$

==> $\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}} \right)^2}$

    Two rectangular blocks, having indentical dimensions, can be arranged either in configuration $I$ or in configuration $II$ as shown in the figure, On of the blocks has thermal conductivity $k$ and the other $2 \ k$. The temperature difference between the ends along the $x$-axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes $9\ s$ to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot end to the cold end in the configuration $I$. The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration $II$ is :

    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
