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 ..... $kg/s$.

One end of a uniform metal rod of length $100 \, cm$ is placed in ice and the other end is placed in boiling water. A point of the rod which is at a distance of $60 \, cm$ from the ice end is maintained at a constant temperature of $325^{\circ} C$. If $2 \, g$ of water is converted into steam per second, the mass of ice melted per second in steady state is (Latent heat of steam $= 6.75$ times latent heat of fusion of ice). (in $g$)

$A$ rod of length $L$ and uniform cross-sectional area has varying thermal conductivity which changes linearly from $2K$ at end $A$ to $K$ at the other end $B$. The ends $A$ and $B$ of the rod are maintained at constant temperatures $100^oC$ and $0^oC$, respectively. At steady state, the graph of temperature $T = T(x)$, where $x$ is the distance from end $A$, will be:

If $120 \ J$ of thermal energy is incident on an area of $3 \ m^2$,the amount of heat transmitted is $12 \ J$,and the coefficient of absorption is $0.6$,then the amount of heat reflected is: (in $J$)
