11. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 10th May Morning Shift )

Heat energy is incident on the surface at the rate of X J/min . If ' a ' and ' r ' represent coefficient of absorption and reflection respectively then the heat energy transmitted by the surface in ' t ' minutes is

A. ( a + r ) x t

B. ( a + r ) xt

C. ( a + r ) x t

D. xt ( a + r )

Correct Option is (A)

 We know  1 = a + r + t r

t r = 1 ( a + r )

 Heat transmitted  = t r ×  time 

Q = X × ( 1 a + r ) × t (  Substituting for  t r )

Q = X ( 1 a + r ) × t

A black body has maximum wavelength ' λ m ' at temperature 2000   K . Its corresponding wavelength at temperature 3000   K will be

A. 4 λ m 9

B. 2 λ m 9

C. 3 λ m 2

D. 9 4 λ m

Correct Option is (B)

By Wien's displacement law λ T = constant

λ 1   T λ 2 λ 1 = T 1   T 1 = 2000 3000 = 2 3 λ 2 = 2 3 λ 1

13. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 21th September Morning Shift )

A black reactangular surface of area ' a ' emits energy ' E ' per second at 27 C . If length and breadth is reduced to ( 1 3 ) rd  of initial value and temperature is raised to 327 C then energy emitted per second becomes

A. 16 E 9

B. 8 E 9

C. 4 E 9

D. 12 E 9

Correct Option is (A)

E = e σ A ( T 4 T 0 4 )  and  A = b

When and b change to 3 and b 3

A = A 9 E E = A A ( 327 + 273 ) 4 ( 27 + 273 ) 4 ; E E = 1 9 ( 600 300 ) 4 E = 1 9 × ( 2 ) 4 × E E = 16 E 9

14. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 20th September Evening Shift )

A black rectangular surface of area ' A ' emits energy ' E ' per second at 27 C . If length and breadth is reduced to ( 1 / 3 ) rd  of its initial value and temperature is raised to 327 C then energy emitted per second becomes

A. 20 E 9

B. 8 E 9

C. 16 E 9

D. 4 E 9

Correct Option is (C)

The energy emitted by a black body per unit area per unit time (or power per unit area) is given by Stefan-Boltzmann Law :

σ T 4

Where :

  • σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.
  • T is the absolute temperature of the body.

Given :

Initial energy emitted E for area A at temperature 27 C = 273 + 27 = 300 K

E = A σ ( 300 4 )

Now, the area is reduced to ( 1 / 3 ) 2 of its original value :

A = ( 1 3 ) 2 A = A 9

The temperature is raised to 327 C = 273 + 327 = 600 K

The new energy emitted E will be :

E = A σ ( 600 4 )

Dividing the two equations :

E E = A σ ( 600 4 ) A σ ( 300 4 )

Given A = A 9 and using ( 600 4 ) / ( 300 4 ) = 2 4 = 16 :

E E = 16 9

So, E = 16 E 9

The correct answer is :

Option C

16 E 9

15. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 20th September Evening Shift )

Two stars 'P' and 'Q' emit yellow and blue light respectively. The relation between their temperatures ( T P and T Q ) is

A. T P = T Q

B. T P = T Q 2

C. T P > T Q

D. T P < T Q

Correct Option is (D)

According to Wien's law, λ T = constant

T 1 λ

Wavelength of blue light is less than that of yellow light. Hence, temperature of Q is greater than temperature of P.
