Assuming the sun to be a spherical body of radius $R$ at a temperature of $TK$ , evaluate the total radiant power, incident on the earth, at a distance $r$ from the sun, is (Where $r_0$ is the radius of the earth and $\sigma $ is Stefan s constant.)
A piece of iron is heated in a flame. It first becomes dull red then becomes reddish yellow and finally turns to white hot. The correct explanation for the above observation is possible by using
A solid cube and a solid sphere of the same material have equal surface area. Both are at the same temperature $120\ ^oC$ , then
A cylindrical metallic rod, in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends, conducts an amount of heat $Q$ in time $t.$ The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. Amount of heat conducted by the new rod, when placed in thermal contact with same two reservoirs in time $t$ , is
