The intensity of radiation emitted by the sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of $510\,nm$ and that emitted by the north star has the maximum value at $350\,nm$. If these stars behave like black bodies, then the ratio of thesurface temperature of the sun and north star is

Two rigid boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box $A$ contains one mole of nitrogen at temperature $T_0$, while box $B$ contains one mole of helium at temperature $(7/3)$ $T_0$. The boxes are then put into thermal contact with each other, and heat flows between them until the gases reach a common final temperature (Ignore the heat capacity of boxes). Then, the final temperature of gases, $T_f$, in terms of $T_0$ is
