35. 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 $$1.2\,\,cal/s$$

Answer :   $$4.8\,\,cal/s$$

36. 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 :   $${T_P} > {T_R} > {T_Q}$$

37. 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:

A $${\text{ }}T\,\propto \,\frac{1}{R}$$
B $${\text{ }}T\,\propto \,\frac{1}{R_3}$$
C $${\text{ }}T\,\propto \,{e^{ - R}}$$
D $${\text{ }}T\,\propto \,{e^{ - 3R}}$$
Answer :   $${\text{ }}T\,\propto \,\frac{1}{R}$$

38. 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 $$40\,kcal/{m^2}\min $$
