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

Explain why:
$(a)$ a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter.
$(b)$ a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.
$(c)$ an optical pyrometer (for measuring high temperatures) calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too low a value for the temperature of a red hot iron piece in the open,but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same piece is in the furnace.
$(d)$ the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold.
$(e)$ heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of hot water.

Which of the following statements is/are $CORRECT$?
$(i)$ $A$ body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter.
$(ii)$ $A$ brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.
$(iii)$ The Earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold.
$(iv)$ Heating systems based on the circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on the circulation of hot water.

The sun,acting as a black body,emits maximum radiation at a wavelength of $0.48 \ \mu m$. The average radius of the sun is $6.96 \times 10^{8} \ m$. The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $5.67 \times 10^{-8} \ W/m^2K^4$ and Wien's constant is $0.293 \ cm \cdot K$. The decrease in the mass of the sun per second due to radiation is ..... $kg/s$.

$A$ long metallic bar is carrying heat from one of its ends to the other end under steady-state. The variation of temperature $\theta$ along the length $x$ of the bar from its hot end is best described by which of the following figures?

If heat conduction in Figure $1$ takes $12 \, sec$,how much time (in $sec$) will it take for the same amount of heat to be conducted in Figure $2$?
