Question 11. A spherical black body with a radius of 12 cm radiates 450 W power at 50 K. If the radius was halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watt would be:
  1.    225
  2.    450
  3.    900
  4.    1800
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1800
:
D
The energy radiated per second by a black body is given by Stefan's Law as Et=σT2×A where A is the surface area of the black body
EtσT4×4πr2
Since black body is a sphere, (A=4πr2).
Case(i)
Et=450,T=500K,r=0.12m,
450=4πσ(500)4(0.12)2 .....(i)
Case(ii)
Et=?,T=1000K,r=0.06m,
dividing (ii) and (I) we get,
Et450=(1000)4(0.06)2(500)4(0.12)2=2422=4
Et=450×4=1800W
(d) is the correct option.
Question 12. The temperature of a body falls from 40C to 36C in 5 minutes when placed in a surrounding of constant temperature 16C. Find the time taken for the temperature of the body to become 32C.
  1.    8.1 min
  2.    6.1 min
  3.    5.3 min
  4.    5.1 min

Answer: Option B. -> 6.1 min
:
B
As the temperature differences are small, we can use Newton's law of cooling.
dθdt=kt(θθ0)
dθθθ0=kdt
or, ...(i)
Where k is a constant, θ is the temperature of the body at time t and θ0=16C is the temperature of the surrounding. We have,
36C40Cdθθθ0=kt(5min)
ln36C16C40C16C=kt(5min)
or,
k=ln(56)5min
or, .
If t be the time required for the temperature to fall from 36C to 32C then by (i),
32C36Cdθθθ0=kt
or, ln32C16C36C16C=ln(56)5min
or, t=ln(45)(ln(56)×5min
= 6.1 min.
Alternative method
The mean temperature of the body as it cools from 40C to 36C is 40C+36C2=38C The rate of decrease of temperature is
40C+36C5min=0.80C/min .
Newton's law of cooling is
dθdt=k(θθ0)
or, -0.8C/min = - k(38C - 16C)=-k(22C)
or, k=0.822min1.
Let the time taken for the temperature to become 32C be t.
During this period,.
The mean temperature is

Question 13. An electric heater emits 1000 W of thermal radiation. The coil has a surface area of 0.020 m2. Assuming that the coil radiates like a blackbody, find its temperature. σ=6.00×108W/m2K4.
  1.    955 deg C
  2.    955 deg F
  3.    955 K
  4.    865 K
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 955 K
:
C
Let the temperature of the coil be T. The coil will emit radiation at a rate AσT4. Thus,
1000W =(0.020m2)×(6.0×128W/m2K4)×T64
or, T4=10000.020×6.00×108K4
=8.33×1011K4
or, T=955K.
Question 14. A copper sphere is suspended in an evacuated chamber maintained at 300 K. The sphere is maintained at a constant temperature of 500 K by heating it electrically. A total of 210 W of electric power is needed to do it. When the surface of the copper sphere is completely blackened, 700 W is needed to maintain the same temperature of the sphere. Calculate the emissivity of copper.

  2.    0.4
  3.    0.3
  4.    0.2

Before painting it black the power needed = eσA(T4T40)=210 ...(i)
T = 500 K
T0 = 300 K
e emissivity
After the paint the surface behaves like a black body.
σA(T4T40)=700 ...(ii)

Question 15. Assume that the total surface area of a human body is 1.6 m2 and that it radiates like an ideal radiator. Calculate the amount of energy radiated per second by the body if the body temperature is 37 C.Stefan constant σ is 6.0×108W/m2K4.
  1.    608 J
  2.    887 J
  3.    1026 J
  4.    902 J
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 887 J
:
B
Stefan's law: ΔQΔt=eσAT4
For an ideal radiator e = 1 ΔQΔt=6×108×1.6×(273+37)4
=6×108×1.6×314×104
= 887 J per second.
Question 16. The energy spectrum of a blackbody exhibits a maximum around a wavelength λ0. The temperature of the black body is now changed such that the energy is maximum around a wavelength 3λ04 The power radiated by the blackbody will now increase by a factor:
  1.    25681
  2.    169
  3.    43
  4.    None
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 25681
:
A
According to Wien's law wavelength corresponding to maximum energy decreases. When the temperature of blackbody increases i.e.,
λmT=constantT2T1=λ1λ2=λ03λ04=43
Now according to Stefan's law
E2E1=(T2T1)4=(43)4=25681.
Question 17. We need to store 1l of cold water in warm weather for as long as possible. In which of the following shapes should a flask be built for the task. Assume the thickness and material are same for all the shapes.
  1.    Cubical
  2.    Conical, with radius=height
  3.    Spherical
  4.    Cylindrical, with radius=height
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Spherical
:
C
For all modes of heat transfer ΔQArea,A.So we should choose the shape with minimum area for minimum heat transfer.
(a)For cubical:
Volume, V = a3=1l,a=1dm(decameter)
Area, A = 6a2=6dm2
(b)For conical: V= πr2h3, but given r=h,r=313π dm
A=πr(2r)+πr2
= 7.354 dm2
(c)For Sphere:
V=43πr3, r=(34)13dm
A=4πr2=4.84dm2
(d) For Cylinder:
V=π×r2×rr=1π13dm
A=2πr2+2πr.r=5.86dm2
As Sphere has the least area among these, it will be the shape with minimum heat loss. In fact sphere is the shape with the minimum surface area among all possible shapes!

  1.    Their cooling curves will be identical
  2.    A and B will represent cooling curves of water and oil respectively
  3.    B and A will represent cooling curves of water and oil respectively
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question

As we know, Rate of cooling 1specificheat(c)
Coil<Cwater
(Rateofcooling)oil>(Rateofcooling)water
It is clear that, at a particular time after start cooling, temperature of oil will be less than that of water.
So graph B represents the cooling curve of oil and A represents the cooling curve of water.
