The power radiated by a black body is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy at wavelength, $\lambda_{0}$. If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\frac{3}{4} \lambda_{0},$ the power radiated by it becomes nP. The value of n is

Three rods of Copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a Y-shaped structure. Area of cross-section of each rod is 4 cm2. End of copper rod is maintained at 100°C. Where as ends of brass and steel are kept at 0°C. Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are 46, 13 and 12 cms respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings except at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are 0.92, 0.26 and 0.12 CGS units respectively. Rate of heat flow through copper rod is :
