(d) In steady state there is no absorption of heat in any position.

Heat passes on or is radiated from it’s surface.

Therefore, in steady state the temperature of the body does not change with time but can be different at different points of the body.

    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 maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a hot source occurs at a wavelength of $11 \times {10^{ - 5}}cm$. According to Wein's law, the temperature of the source (on Kelvin scale) will be $n$ times the temperature of another source (on Kelvin scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is $5.5 \times {10^{ - 5}}cm$. The value $n$ is
