In a composite rod, when two rods of different lengths and of the same area are joined end to end, then if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity ; $\frac{{{\ell _1} + {\ell _2}}}{K}$ is equal to
$\frac{{{\ell _1}}}{{{K_1}}} - \frac{{{\ell _2}}}{{{K_2}}}$
$\frac{{{\ell _1}}}{{{K_2}}} - \frac{{{\ell _2}}}{{{K_1}}}$
$\frac{{{\ell _1}}}{{{K_1}}} + \frac{{{\ell _2}}}{{{K_2}}}$
$\frac{{{\ell _1}}}{{{K_2}}} + \frac{{{\ell _2}}}{{{K_1}}}$
The radiant energy from sun incident normally at the surface of earth is $20\, kcal/m^2-min$. What would have been the radiant energy incident normally on the earth if the sun had a temperature twice of the present one ......... $kcal/m^2-min$
A block of metal is heated to a temperature much higher than the room temperature and allowed to cool in a room free from air currents. Which of the following curves correctly represents the rate of cooling
A hot liquid kept in a beaker cools from $80\,^oC$ to $70\,^oC$ in $2\, min$. If the surrounding temperature is $30\,^oC$, then the time of cooling of the same liquid from $60\,^oC$ to $50\,^oC$ ........ $\sec$
The adjoining diagram shows the spectral energy density distribution $E_\lambda $ of a black body at two different temperatures. If the areas under the curves are in the ratio $16 : 1$, the value of temperature $T$ is ......... $K$
If the temperature of the sun were to increase from $T$ to $2T$ and its radius from $R$ to $2R$, then the ratio of the radiant energy received on earth to what it was previously will be
