Heat loss takes place from a body maintained at a temperature of $400^{\circ} C$ to the surrounding air at $30^{\circ} C$ by convection and to the surrounding surfaces at $30^{\circ} C$ by radiation. The Newton's cooling coefficient is $20 \ W / m^2 \ K$ and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $5.67 \times 10^{-8} \ W / m^2 \ K^4$. If the rate of heat loss by convection is equal to the rate of heat loss by radiation, the emissivity of the body surface is

  • A
    $0.35$
  • B
    $0.46$
  • C
    $0.55$
  • D
    $0.66$

Three discs $x, y$ and $z$ having radii $2 \ m, 2 \ m$ and $6 \ m$ respectively are coated on their outer surfaces. If the wavelengths corresponding to the maximum power radiated by them are $3 \ \mu m, 4 \ \mu m$ and $5 \ \mu m$ respectively,then which of the following is true regarding the power radiated $(P)$?

Three rods of Copper,Brass,and Steel are welded together to form a $Y$ shaped structure. The area of cross-section of each rod is $4 \ cm^2$. The end of the copper rod is maintained at $100^\circ C$,whereas the ends of the brass and steel rods are kept at $0^\circ C$. The lengths of the copper,brass,and steel rods are $46 \ cm$,$13 \ cm$,and $12 \ cm$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from the surroundings except at the ends. The thermal conductivities of copper,brass,and steel are $0.92$,$0.26$,and $0.12 \ CGS$ units respectively. The rate of heat flow through the copper rod is ....... $cal \ s^{-1}$.

Two rods (one semi-circular and other straight) of the same material and of the same cross-sectional area are joined as shown in the figure. The points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at different temperatures. The ratio of the heat transferred through a cross-section of the semi-circular rod to the heat transferred through a cross-section of the straight rod in a given time is

$A$ hot black body emits energy at the rate of $16 \ J \ m^{-2} \ s^{-1}$ and its most intense radiation corresponds to $20,000 \ \mathring{A}$. When the temperature of this body is further increased and its most intense radiation corresponds to $10,000 \ \mathring{A}$,then the energy radiated in $J \ m^{-2} \ s^{-1}$ will be

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ have thermal emissivities of $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The outer surface areas of the two bodies are the same. The two bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength ${\lambda _B}$ corresponding to maximum spectral radiancy in the radiation from $B$ is shifted from the wavelength corresponding to maximum spectral radiancy in the radiation from $A$ by $1.00\;\mu m$. If the temperature of $A$ is $5802\;K$,then:
