The plots of intensity versus wavelength for three black bodies at temperatures $T_1, T_2$ and $T_3$ respectively are as shown. Their temperature are such that
The ends of a metal bas of constant cross-sectional area are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ which are both higher than the temperature of the surroundings. If the bar is unlagged, which one of the following sketches best represents the variation of temperature with distance along the bar?
The plots of intensity versus wavelength for three black bodies at temperatures $T_1, T_2$ and $T_3$ respectively are as shown. Their temperature are such that
A liquid in a beaker has temperature $\theta (t)$ at time $t$ and $\theta_0$ is temperature of surroundings, then according to Newton's law of cooling the correct graph between loge $log_e(\theta - \theta_0) $ and $t$ is
The thickness of a metallic plate is $0.4 cm$ . The temperature between its two surfaces is ${20^o}C$. The quantity of heat flowing per second is $50$ calories from $5c{m^2}$ area. In $CGS$ system, the coefficient of thermal conductivity will be
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 $..........\,{ }^{\circ} C$.
The wavelength of maximum energy released during an atomic explosion was $2.93 \times {10^{ - 10}}m$. Given that Wein's constant is $2.93 \times {10^{ - 3}}m - K$, the maximum temperature attained must be of the order of
