The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m^{2}$. It contains $300 \,g$ of a mixture of coal,wood,and leaves with a calorific value of $30 \,kJ/g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ}C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ}C$. Then,a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in $h$) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body).

Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius $r$,radiating like a black body at temperature $t^{\circ} C$,the power received by a unit surface (normal to the incident rays) at a distance $R$ from the centre of the sun is,where $\sigma$ is the Stefan's constant.

The rectangular surface of area $8 \text{ cm} \times 4 \text{ cm}$ of a black body at a temperature of $127^{\circ}\text{C}$ emits energy at the rate of $E$ per second. If the length and breadth of the surface are each reduced to half of the initial value and the temperature is raised to $327^{\circ}\text{C}$,the rate of emission of energy will become

If the radiation emitted by a perfect radiator has maximum intensity at a wavelength of $2900 Å$, the intensity of radiation emitted by it is (Stefan-Boltzmann's constant $= 5.67 \times 10^{-8} W m^{-2} K^{-4}$ and Wien's constant $= 2.9 \times 10^{-3} m K$).

If the temperature of a perfectly black body is increased by $50\%$,find the percentage increase in the amount of radiation emitted from its surface.
