The filament of a light bulb has surface area 64 mm2. The filament can be considered as a black body at temperature 2500 K emitting radiation like a point source when viewed from far. At night the light bulb is observed from a distance of 100 m. Assume the pupil of the eyes of the observer to be circular with radius 3 mm. Then:

(Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant =5.67×10-8 W m-2 K-4, Wiens' displacement constant =2.90×103 m K, Planck's constant =6.60×1034 J s, speed of light in vacuum =3.00×108 ms1)

A current carrying wire heats a metal rod. The wire provides a constant power P to the rod. The metal rod is enclosed in an insulated container. It is observed that the temperature T in the metal rod changes with time t as: Tt=T01+βt14
, where β is a constant with appropriate dimension while T0 is a constant with dimension of temperature. The heat capacity of the metal is:

A liquid at 30 oC is poured very slowly into a Calorimeter that is at temperature of 110 oC. The boiling temperature of the liquid is 80 oC. It is found that the first 5 gm of the liquid completely evaporates. After pouring another 80 gm of the liquid the equilibrium temperature is found to be 50 oC. The ratio of the Latent heat of the liquid to its specific heat will be ______  oC.

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures T1=300 K and T2=100 K as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are K1 and K2, respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is 200 K, then K1/K2 is

A water cooler of storage capacity 120 litres can cool water at constant rate of P W. In a closed circulation system (as shown schematically in the figure), the water from the cooler is used to cool an external device that generates constantly 3 kW of heat (thermal load). The temperature of water fed into the device can not exceed 30oC and the entire stored 120 litres of water is initially cooled to 10oC . The entire system is thermally insulated. The minimum value of P (in W) for which the device can be operated for 3 hours is:

An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?

Two rectangular blocks, having identical dimensions, can be arranged either in configuration  I or in configuration II as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity K and the other 2 K . The temperature difference between the ends along the x-axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes 9 s to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot end to cold end in the configuration I . The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration II is
