$A$ cylinder of radius $R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_1$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$ made of material of thermal conductivity $K_2$. The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is

  • A
    $K_1 + K_2$
  • B
    $\frac{K_1 K_2}{K_1 + K_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{K_1 + 3K_2}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{3K_1 + K_2}{4}$

Power radiated by a black body at temperature $T_1$ is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength $\lambda_1$. If the temperature of the black body is changed from $T_1$ to $T_2$, it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength $\frac{\lambda_1}{2}$. The power radiated at $T_2$ is (in $P$)

Determine whether the following statements are True or False:
$(a)$ "Conduction stops once a rod achieves thermal steady state."

One end of a uniform metal rod of length $100 \, cm$ is placed in ice and the other end is placed in boiling water. A point of the rod which is at a distance of $60 \, cm$ from the ice end is maintained at a constant temperature of $325^{\circ} C$. If $2 \, g$ of water is converted into steam per second, the mass of ice melted per second in steady state is (Latent heat of steam $= 6.75$ times latent heat of fusion of ice). (in $g$)
