A black body is defined as a perfect absorber of radiations. It may or may not be a perfect emitter of radiations.

steady current is passing through a cylindrical conductor of radius placed in vacuum. Assuming Stefan' law of radiation, steady temperature will be proportional to

Three very large plates of same area are kept parallel and close to each other. They are considered as ideal black surfaces and have very high thermal conductivity. First and third plates are maintained at absolute temperatures and respectively. Temperature of the middle plate in steady state is

A certain perfect black body is such that its temperature is and its area is . Calculate the heat radiated by the black body in one minute. (Use Stefan's constant )

What is the rate of cooling of two spheres with radii in ratio and densities in the ratio which are of same specific heat, heated to same temperature and left in the same surrounding.

The peak emission from a black body at a certain temperature occurs at a wavelength of . On increasing its temperature, the total radiation emitted is increased to times. At the initial temperature when the peak radiation from the black body is incident on a metal surface, it does not cause any photoemission from the surface. After the increase in temperature, the peak radiation from the black body caused photoemission. To bring these photoelectrons to rest, a potential equivalent to the excitation energy between and Bohr levels of hydrogen atoms is required. Find the work function of the metal (in ).
