The absorption coefficient value of a perfect black body is

Three objects colored black,gray,and white can withstand hostile conditions up to $2800\,^oC$. These objects are thrown into a furnace where each of them attains a temperature of $2000\,^oC$. Which object will glow brightest?

$A$ thermopile is used for:

$A$ body has a transmission power of $1/6$ and a reflection power of $1/3$. Find its absorption power.

Nearly $10 \%$ of the power of a $110\,W$ light bulb is converted to visible radiation. The change in average intensities of visible radiation,at a distance of $1\,m$ from the bulb to a distance of $5\,m$ is $a \times 10^{-2}\,W/m^2$. The value of '$a$' will be.

The following figure shows two air-filled bulbs connected by a $U$-tube partly filled with alcohol. One bulb is painted black and the other is painted white (or silver/shiny). What happens to the levels of alcohol in the limbs $X$ and $Y$ when an electric bulb placed midway between the two bulbs is lighted?
