Two bodies $A$ and $B$ have emissivities of $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The outer surface areas of both bodies are the same. Both bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength $\lambda_B$ corresponding to the maximum spectral radiance for body $B$ is $1.0 \mu m$. If the temperature of body $A$ is $5802 \ K$,then the temperature of body $B$ is .... $K$.

$A$ solid cylinder of radius $r_1=2.5 \ cm$, length $l_1=5.0 \ cm$ and temperature $40^{\circ}C$ is suspended in an environment of temperature $60^{\circ}C$. The thermal radiation transfer rate for the cylinder is $1.0 \ W$. If the cylinder is stretched until its radius becomes $r_2=0.50 \ cm$, the thermal radiation transfer rate is changed to (in $W$)

The ratio of radiant energies radiated per unit surface area by two bodies is $16 : 1$. The temperature of the hotter body is $1000 \ K$. Then,the temperature of the colder body will be ....... $K$.
