Three rods made of the same material and having same cross-sectional area but different lengths $10\, cm, 20\, cm$ and $30\, cm$ are joined as shown. The temperature of the junction is......... $^oC$ 

A room is maintained at ${20^o}C$ by a heater of resistance $20$ ohm connected to $200$ volt mains. The temperature is uniform through out the room and heat is transmitted through a glass window of area $1{m^2}$ and thickness $0.2$ cm. What will be the temperature outside ....... $^oC$ ? Given that thermal conductivity $K=0.2$ for glass is and $J = 4.2 J/cal$

Which of the following statements is/are $CORRECT$ Correct option are

$(i)$ a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter

$(ii)$ a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day

$(iii)$ the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold

$(iv)$ heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of hot water

Temperature of water at the surface of lake is $ - {20^o}C$ Then temperature of water just below the lower surface of ice layer is ...... $^oC$

The rate of heat flow through the cross-section of the rod shown in figure is ($T_2 > T_1$ and thermal conductivity of the material of the rod is $K$)

he ratio of the coefficient of thermal conductivity of two different materials is $5 : 3$ . If the thermal resistance of the rod and thickness of these materials is same, then the ratio of the length of these rods will be
