Two identical metallic sheets each behaves like a black body are kept parallel to each other with small separation between them in vacuum. Thermal energy is generated at a constant rate in one of the sheets by a passing electricity in it. In steady state, temperature of the other sheet is found to be constant is . Find the value of in Kilo-Watt.
(Given area of the plates and )

Important Questions on Thermal Properties of Matter








The filament of a light bulb has surface area The filament can be considered as a black body at temperature emitting radiation like a point source when viewed from far. At night the light bulb is observed from a distance of . Assume the pupil of the eyes of the observer to be circular with radius . Then:
(Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant Wiens' displacement constant , Planck's constant , speed of light in vacuum )

A black coloured solid sphere of radius and mass is inside a cavity with a vacuum inside. The walls of the cavity are maintained at temperature . The initial temperature of the sphere is . If the specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as per unit mass with the temperature of the sphere, where is a constant, then the time taken for the sphere to cool down to temperature will be
( is Stefan Boltzmann constant)




Two black bodies and have equal surface areas and are maintained at temperatures and respectively. What will be the ratio of the thermal energy radiated per second by to that by
