Three rods of same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3K,\,2K$ and $K$. They are arranged as shown with their ends at $100\,^oC$, $50\,^oC$ and $0\,^oC$. Temperature of junction is
$75\,^oC$
$\frac {200}{3}\,^oC$
$40\,^oC$
$\frac {100}{3}\,^oC$
A cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends conducts an amount of heat $Q$ in time $t$. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. What is the amount of heat conducted by the new rod, when placed in thermal contact with same two reservoirs in time $t$
Two rods of same material have same length and area. The heat $\Delta Q$ flows through them for $12\, minutes$ when they are jointed in series. If now both the rods are joined in parallel, then the same amount of heat $\Delta Q$ will flow in ........ $\min$.
The distribution of relative intensity $I (\lambda )$ of blackbody radiation from a solid object versus the wavelength $\lambda $ is shown in the figure. If the Wien displacement law constant is $2.9 × 10^{-3}\ mK$ , what is the approximate temperature of the object ....... $K$.
The maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a hot source occurs at a wavelength of $11\times10^{-5}\, cm$. According to Wien's law, the temperature of the source (on kelvin scale) will be n times the temperature of another source (on Kelvin scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is $5.5\times10^{-5}\, cm$. The value of $n$ is
Calculate the surface temperature of the planet, if the energy radiated by unit area in unit time is $5.67 \times 10^4\,watt$ : (Planet may be assumed to black body)
