EASY
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 Tp, TQ and TR are the respective absolute temperatures of P , Q and R , then it can be concluded from the above observations that :

A black coloured solid sphere of radius R and mass M is inside a cavity with a vacuum inside. The walls of the cavity are maintained at temperature T0. The initial temperature of the sphere is 3T0. If the specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as αT3 per unit mass with the temperature T of the sphere, where α is a constant, then the time taken for the sphere to cool down to temperature 2T0 will be
