Important Questions on Kinetic Theory of Gases and Radiation









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)



A container with of water in it is kept in sunlight, which causes the water to get warmer than the surroundings. The average energy per unit time per unit area received due to the sunlight is and it is absorbed by the water over an effective area of Assuming that the heat loss from the water to the surroundings is governed by Newton's law of cooling, the difference (in ) in the temperature of water and the surroundings after a long time will be_________. (Ignore effect of the container, and take constant for Newton's law of cooling Heat capacity of water )
(Approximate the answer to two decimal place)
