A spherical body of area $$A$$ and emissivity $$e = 0.6$$ is kept inside a perfectly black body. Total heat radiated by the body at temperature $$T$$
A
$$0.4\,A{T^4}$$
B
$$0.8\,A{T^4}$$
C
$$0.6\,A{T^4}$$
D
$$1.0\,A{T^4}$$
Answer :
$$1.0\,A{T^4}$$
In this question the given options are wrong as all the four options contain $$e$$ in place of $$\sigma .$$
When a spherical body is kept inside a perfectly block body then the total heat radiated by the body is equal to that of the black body.

A metal ball of surface area $$200$$ square $$cm,$$ temperature $${527^ \circ }C$$ is surrounded by a vessel at $${27^ \circ }C.$$ If the emissivity of the metal is $$0.4,$$ then the rate of loss of heat from the ball is approximately $$\left[ {\sigma = 5.67 \times {{10}^{ - 8}}\frac{{joule}}{{{m^2} \times \sec \times {K^2}}}} \right]$$
A
108 joule
B
168 joule
C
182 joule
D
192 joule
Answer :
182 joule
According to Stefan’s Law, the rate of loss of heat is $$\frac{Q}{t} = \sigma A\left( {T_1^4 - T_2^4} \right) \times e$$
here $$\sigma = 5.67 \times {10^{ - 8}}J/{m^2} \times \sec .{K^2},$$
$$\eqalign{
& {T_1} = 527 + 273 = 800\,K, \cr
& {T_2} = 27 + 273 = 300\,K\& A = 200 \times {10^{ - 4}}{m^2} \cr} $$
So, $$\frac{Q}{t} = 5.67 \times {10^{ - 8}} \times 2 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,\left[ {{{\left( {800} \right)}^4} - {{\left( {300} \right)}^4}} \right] \times 0.4$$
$$ \cong 182\,joule$$

A container contains hot water at $${100^ \circ }C.$$ If in time $${T_1}$$ temperature falls to $${80^ \circ }C$$ and the time $${T_2}$$ temperature falls to $${60^ \circ }C$$ form $${80^ \circ }C,$$ then
A
$${T_1} = {T_2}$$
B
$${T_1} > {T_2}$$
C
$${T_1} < {T_2}$$
D
None of these
Answer :
$${T_1} < {T_2}$$
Rate of colling $$ = \frac{{ - d\theta }}{{dt}} \propto \left( {\frac{{{\theta _1} + {\theta _2}}}{2} - {\theta _0}} \right)$$
In second case average temperature will be less hence rate of colling will be less. Therefore time taken will be more than 4 minutes.

Three rods of Copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a $$Y$$ shaped structure. Area of cross-section of each rod $$ = 4\,c{m^2}.$$ End of copper rod is maintained at $${100^ \circ }C$$ where as ends of brass and steel are kept at $${0^ \circ }C.$$ Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are $$46, 13$$ and $$12\,cms$$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings excepts at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are $$0.92, 0.26$$ and $$0.12\,CGS$$ units respectively. Rate of heat flow through copper rod is:
A
$$1.2\,\,cal/s$$
B
$$2.4\,\,cal/s$$
C
$$4.8\,\,cal/s$$
D
$$6.0\,\,cal/s$$
Answer :
$$4.8\,\,cal/s$$
Rate of heat flow is given by,
$$Q = \frac{{KA\left( {{\theta _1} - {\theta _2}} \right)}}{l}$$
Where, $$K$$ = coefficient of thermal conductivity
$$l$$ = length of rod and $$A$$ = Area of cross-section of rod
If the junction temperature is $$T,$$ then
$$\eqalign{
& {Q_{{\text{Copper}}}} = {Q_{{\text{Brass}}}} + {Q_{{\text{Steel}}}} \cr
& \frac{{0.92 \times 4\left( {100 - T} \right)}}{{46}} = \frac{{0.26 \times 4 \times \left( {T - 0} \right)}}{{13}} + \frac{{0.12 \times 4 \times \left( {T - 0} \right)}}{{12}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,200 - 2\,T = 2\,T + T \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,T = {40^ \circ }C \cr
& \therefore \,\,{Q_{{\text{Copper}}}} = \frac{{0.92 \times 4 \times 60}}{{46}} \cr
& = 4.8\,\,cal/s \cr} $$

On observing light from three different stars $$P,Q$$ and $$R,$$ it was found that intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of $$P,$$ the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of $$R$$ and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of $$Q.$$ If $${T_P},{T_Q}$$ and $${T_R}$$ are the respective absolute temperatures of $$P,Q$$ and $$R,$$ then it can be concluded from the above observations that
A
$${T_P} > {T_Q} > {T_R}$$
B
$${T_P} > {T_R} > {T_Q}$$
C
$${T_P} < {T_R} < {T_Q}$$
D
$${T_P} < {T_Q} < {T_R}$$
Answer :
$${T_P} > {T_R} > {T_Q}$$
We know from Weins displacement law $${\lambda _m}T = {\text{constant}}$$
So, $$T \propto \frac{1}{{{\lambda _m}}}$$
As, $${\lambda _r} > {\lambda _g} > {\lambda _v}$$
So, $${T_r} < {T_g} < {T_v}$$
Given $$P \to {v_{\max }},Q \to {r_{\max }},R \to {g_{\max }}$$
Hence, $${T_Q} < {T_R} < {T_P}$$
i.e. $${T_P} > {T_R} > {T_Q}$$

Consider a spherical shell of radius $$R$$ at temperature $$T.$$ The black body radiation inside it can be considered as an ideal gas of photons with internal energy per unit volume $$u = \frac{U}{V}\,\propto \,{T^4}$$ and pressure $$P = \frac{1}{3}\left( {\frac{U}{V}} \right).$$ If the shell now undergoes an adiabatic expansion the relation between $$T$$ and $$R$$ is:

The radiant energy from the sun, incident normally at the surface of earth is $$20\,kcal/{m^2}\min .$$ What would have been the radiant energy, incident normally on the earth, if the sun had a temperature, twice of the present one ?
A
$$160\,kcal/{m^2}\min $$
B
$$40\,kcal/{m^2}\min $$
C
$$320\,kcal/{m^2}\min $$
D
$$80\,kcal/{m^2}\min $$
Answer :
$$320\,kcal/{m^2}\min $$
Concept
Apply Stefan's law
According to Stefan's law, the rate at which an object radiates energy is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature, i.e.
$$E = \sigma {T^4}\,{\text{or}}\,\,E \propto {T^4}\,\left( {\sigma = {\text{Stefan's constant}}} \right)$$
so for two different cases, $$\frac{{{E_1}}}{{{E_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_2}}}} \right)^4}$$
Given, $${T_1} = T,{T_2} = 2T,{E_1} = 20\,kcal/{m^2}\min $$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{{20}}{{{E_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{T}{{2T}}} \right)^4}\,{\text{or}}\,\,\frac{{20}}{{{E_2}}} = \frac{1}{{16}} \cr
& \therefore {E_2} = 20 \times 16 = 320\,kcal/{m^2}\min \cr} $$

The rectangular surface of area $$8\,cm \times 4\,cm$$ of a black body at temperature $${127^ \circ }C$$ emits energy $$E$$ per second. If the length and breadth are reduced to half of the initial value and the temperature is raised to $${327^ \circ }C,$$ the rate of emission of energy becomes
A
$$\frac{3}{8}E$$
B
$$\frac{81}{16}E$$
C
$$\frac{9}{16}E$$
D
$$\frac{81}{64}E$$
Answer :
$$\frac{81}{64}E$$
$$E = \sigma \times {\text{area}} \times {T^4};$$ $$T$$ increases by a factor $$\frac{3}{2}.$$ Area increases by a factor $$\frac{1}{4}.$$
$$ \Rightarrow E' = \frac{1}{4} \times {\left( {\frac{3}{2}} \right)^4} \times E = \frac{{81}}{{64}}E$$

We consider the radiation emitted by the human body. Which of the following statements is true ?
A
The radiation is emitted during the summers and absorbed during the winters
B
The radiation emitted lies in the ultraviolet region and hence is not visible
C
The radiation emitted is in the infrared region
D
The radiation is emitted only during the day
Answer :
The radiation emitted is in the infrared region
The heat radiation emitted by the human body is the infrared radiation. Their wavelength is of the order of $$7.9 \times {10^{ - 7}}m$$ to $${10^{ - 3}}m$$ which is of course the range of infrared region.
