$A$ wall with a cavity consists of two layers of brick separated by a layer of air. All three layers have the same thickness,and the thermal conductivity of the brick is much greater than that of air. The left layer is at a higher temperature than the right layer,and a steady-state condition exists. Which of the following graphs correctly predicts the variation of temperature $T$ with distance $d$ inside the cavity?

The sun,acting as a black body,emits maximum radiation at a wavelength of $0.48 \ \mu m$. The average radius of the sun is $6.96 \times 10^{8} \ m$. The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $5.67 \times 10^{-8} \ W/m^2K^4$ and Wien's constant is $0.293 \ cm \cdot K$. The decrease in the mass of the sun per second due to radiation is ..... $kg/s$.

Statement $A$: Convection involves flow of matter within a fluid due to unequal temperatures of its parts.
Statement $B$: $A$ hot bar placed under a running tap water loses heat due to the effect of convection within water.
Statement $C$: Heat transfer always involves a temperature difference between two systems.

Three rods of Copper,Brass,and Steel are welded together to form a $Y$ shaped structure. The area of cross-section of each rod is $4 \ cm^2$. The end of the copper rod is maintained at $100^\circ C$,whereas the ends of the brass and steel rods are kept at $0^\circ C$. The lengths of the copper,brass,and steel rods are $46 \ cm$,$13 \ cm$,and $12 \ cm$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from the surroundings except at the ends. The thermal conductivities of copper,brass,and steel are $0.92$,$0.26$,and $0.12 \ CGS$ units respectively. The rate of heat flow through the copper rod is ....... $cal \ s^{-1}$.

$A$ hot black body emits energy at the rate of $16 \ J \ m^{-2} \ s^{-1}$ and its most intense radiation corresponds to $20,000 \ \mathring{A}$. When the temperature of this body is further increased and its most intense radiation corresponds to $10,000 \ \mathring{A}$,then the energy radiated in $J \ m^{-2} \ s^{-1}$ will be

Three rods of the same dimension have thermal conductivities $3K$,$2K$,and $K$. They are arranged as shown in the figure,with their ends at $100^oC$,$50^oC$,and $20^oC$. The temperature of their junction is ......... $^oC$.
