Rate of heat flow through a cylindrical rod is . Temperatures of ends of rod are and . If all the dimensions of rod become double and temperature difference remains same and rate of heat flow becomes . Then,


Important Questions on Calorimetry and Heat Transfer

A ring consisting of two parts and of same conductivity carries an amount of heat . The part is now replaced with another metal keeping the temperatures and constant. The heat carried increases to . What should be the conductivity of the new part? Given .


The graph, shown in the below diagram, represents the variation of temperature of two bodies, and having same surface area, with time due to the emission of radiation. Find the correct relation between the emissivity and absorptivity of two bodies



Assertion: A body that is a good radiator is also a good absorber of radiation at a given wavelength.
Reason: According to Kirchhoff's law, the absorptivity of a body is equal to its emissivity at a given wavelength.

Reason: Peak emission wavelength of a blackbody is proportional to the fourth power of temperature.
