A blackened metal foil receives heat from a heated sphere placed at a distance from it. It is found that the foil receives power . If the temperature and the distance of the sphere are doubled, then, the power received by the foil will be,


Important Questions on Heat Transfer
The temperature of the two outer surfaces of a composite slab consisting of two materials having thermal conductivities as and of thickness and respectively are and . The rate of heat transfer through the slab in a steady state is with equal to

Reason: The wavelength at which the spectral intensity will be maximum for a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.

Assertion : If temperature of any Ideal Black Body is increased by then, there will be increment in the quantity of radiation emitted from its surface.
Reason : The equation is also true for large percentage increase

Assertion : Wien's displacement law fails for short wavelengths.
Reason : Intensity of radiations of very short wavelength is large.

Assertion : In conduction mode of transmission of heat, transfer of heat is due to the interatomic collisions without the actual movement of atoms.
Reason: Steady state during conduction of heat through a rod means temperature gradient of all parts of the rod is same.

Assertion : In a room containing air, heat can go from one place to another by radiation only.
Reason : In conduction and convection, heat is transferred from one place to other by actual motion of heated material.

Assertion : Radiation is the fastest mode of heat transfer.
Reason : The nature of emitted radiations from ideal black body depends only on its temperature.

Assertion : Heat radiation are always obtained in infrared region of electromagnetic wave spectrum.
Reason : Complementary colour are those two colour present in the spectrum which when mixed produce white light.
