Parallel rays of light of intensity I=912Wm-2 are incident on a spherical black body kept in surroundings of temperature 300 K Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant σ=5.7×10-8Wm-2K-4 and assume that the energy exchange with the surrounding is only through radiation. The final steady state temperature of the black body is close to:

The intensity of radiation emitted by the sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of 510 nm and that emitted by the north star has the maximum value at 350 nm. If these stars behave like black bodies then the ratio of the surface temperature of the sun and the north star is

Three very large plates of same area are kept parallel and close to each other. They are considered as ideal black surfaces and have very high thermal conductivity. The first and third plates are maintained at temperatures 2T and 3T respectively. The temperature of the middle (i.e. second) plate under steady state condition is
