The only possibility of heat flow in a thermos flask is through its cork,which is $75 \ cm^2$ in area and $5 \ cm$ thick. Its thermal conductivity is $0.0075 \ cal/(cm \cdot s \cdot ^\circ C)$. The outside temperature is $40^\circ C$ and the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80 \ cal/g$. The time taken by $500 \ g$ of ice at $0^\circ C$ in the flask to melt into water at $0^\circ C$ is ....... $hr$.

The dimensions of $\sigma b^4$, where $\sigma$ is Stefan's constant and $b$ is Wien's constant, are:

The power radiated by a black body is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy around the wavelength $\lambda_0$. Now the temperature of the black body is changed so that it radiates maximum energy around wavelength $\left(\frac{\lambda_0}{2}\right)$. The power radiated by it will now increase by a factor of
