The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m^{2}$. It contains $300 \,g$ of a mixture of coal,wood,and leaves with a calorific value of $30 \,kJ/g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ}C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ}C$. Then,a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in $h$) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body).

If the temperature of the $Sun = 6000 \, K$,the radius of the Sun is $7.2 \times 10^{5} \, km$,the radius of the Earth is $6000 \, km$,and the distance between the Earth and the Sun is $15 \times 10^{7} \, km$,find the intensity of light on Earth.

$A$ solid copper sphere (density $\rho$ and specific heat capacity $c$) of radius $r$ at an initial temperature $200 \, K$ is suspended inside a chamber whose walls are at almost $0 \, K$. The time required (in $\mu s$) for the temperature of the sphere to drop to $100 \, K$ is:

Two electric lamps $A$ and $B$ radiate the same power. Their filaments have the same dimensions and have emissivities $e_A$ and $e_B$. Their surface temperatures are $T_A$ and $T_B$. The ratio $\frac{T_A}{T_B}$ will be equal to :-
