Two spheres $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ have radii $R$ and $3R$ and temperatures $T$ and $T/3$ respectively. If they are coated with a material of the same emissivity, and the rate of radiation of $S_{1}$ is $E$, then the rate of radiation of $S_{2}$ is:

Two identical plates $P$ and $Q$,radiating as perfect black bodies,are kept in vacuum at constant absolute temperatures $T_P$ and $T_Q$,respectively,with $T_Q < T_P$,as shown in Fig. $1$. The radiated power transferred per unit area from $P$ to $Q$ is $W_0$. Subsequently,two more plates,identical to $P$ and $Q$,are introduced between $P$ and $Q$,as shown in Fig. $2$. Assume that heat transfer takes place only between adjacent plates. If the power transferred per unit area in the direction from $P$ to $Q$ (Fig. $2$) in the steady state is $W_S$,then the ratio $\frac{W_0}{W_S}$ is $.....$

Two spherical bodies of same materials having radii $0.2 \ m$ and $0.8 \ m$ are placed in the same atmosphere. The temperature of the smaller body is $800 \ K$ and the temperature of the bigger body is $400 \ K$. If the energy radiated from the smaller body is $E$,the energy radiated from the bigger body is (assume the effect of the surrounding to be negligible).
