The total energy radiated from a black body source is collected for one minute and is used to heat a quantity of water. The temperature of water is found to increase from $20^{\circ}C$ to $20.5^{\circ}C$. If the absolute temperature of the black body is doubled and the experiment is repeated with the same quantity of water at $20^{\circ}C$,the temperature of water will be....... $^{\circ}C$

$A$ planet of radius $R_{p}$ is revolving around a star of radius $R^{*}$ which is at temperature $T^{*}$. The distance between the star and the planet is $d$. If the planet's temperature is $f T^{*}$, then $f$ is proportional to

$A$ very small hole in an electric furnace is used for heating metals. The hole nearly acts as a black body. The area of the hole is $200 \ mm^2$. To keep a metal at $727^{\circ} C$, the heat energy flowing through this hole per second, in joules, is (given $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \ W m^{-2} K^{-4}$):
