The wavelength of maximum intensity of radiation emitted by a star is $289.8 \ nm$. The radiation intensity of the star is (Stefan's constant $= 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \ W m^{-2} K^{-4}$,Wien's constant $b = 2898 \ \mu m \ K$).

Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius $r$,radiating like a black body at temperature $t^{\circ} C$,the power received by a unit surface (normal to the incident rays) at a distance $R$ from the centre of the sun is,where $\sigma$ is the Stefan's constant.

$A$ black body of surface area $10 \ cm^2$ is heated to $127^{\circ}C$ and is suspended in a room at temperature $27^{\circ}C$. The initial rate of loss of heat from the body at the room temperature will be ...... $W$.

The temperatures of two bodies $A$ and $B$ are respectively $727^{\circ}C$ and $327^{\circ}C$. The ratio $H_A:H_B$ of the rates of heat radiated by them is

The temperature of a body is increased from $27\,^{\circ}C$ to $127\,^{\circ}C$. The radiation emitted by it increases by a factor of:
