The two ends of a rod of length $L$ and a uniform cross-sectional area $A$ are kept at two temperatures $T _{1}$ and $T _{2}\left( T _{1} > T _{2}\right) .$ The rate of heat transfer, $\frac{ dQ }{ dt }$ through the rod in a steady state is given by

  • A

    $\frac{ dQ }{ dt }=\frac{ k \left( T _{1}- T _{2}\right)}{ LA }$

  • B

    $\frac{ dQ }{ dt }={kLA}\left( T _{1}- T _{2}\right)$

  • C

    $\frac{ dQ }{ dt }=\frac{ kA \left( T _{1}- T _{2}\right)}{ L }$

  • D

    $\frac{ dQ }{ dt }=\frac{ kL \left( T _{1}- T _{2}\right)}{ A }$

Solar radiation emitted by the sun resembles that emitted by a black body at a temperature of $6000\, K$. Maximum intensity is emitted at a wavelength of about $4800\,\mathop A\limits^o $. If the sun was cooled down from $6000\, K$ to $3000\, K$, then the peak intensity would occur at a wavelength of ......... $\mathop A\limits^o $
