$A$ heated body maintained at $T \ K$ emits thermal radiation of total energy $E$ with a maximum intensity at frequency $v$. The emissivity of the material is $0.5$. If the temperature of the body is increased and maintained at temperature $3T \ K$,then:
$(i)$ The maximum intensity of the emitted radiation will occur at frequency $v/3$.
$(ii)$ The maximum intensity of the emitted radiation will occur at frequency $3v$.
$(iii)$ The total energy of emitted radiation will become $81E$.
$(iv)$ The total energy of emitted radiation will become $27E$.

Heat loss takes place from a body maintained at a temperature of $400^{\circ} C$ to the surrounding air at $30^{\circ} C$ by convection and to the surrounding surfaces at $30^{\circ} C$ by radiation. The Newton's cooling coefficient is $20 \ W / m^2 \ K$ and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $5.67 \times 10^{-8} \ W / m^2 \ K^4$. If the rate of heat loss by convection is equal to the rate of heat loss by radiation, the emissivity of the body surface is

Three rods of Copper,Brass,and Steel are welded together to form a $Y$ shaped structure. The area of cross-section of each rod is $4 \ cm^2$. The end of the copper rod is maintained at $100^\circ C$,whereas the ends of the brass and steel rods are kept at $0^\circ C$. The lengths of the copper,brass,and steel rods are $46 \ cm$,$13 \ cm$,and $12 \ cm$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from the surroundings except at the ends. The thermal conductivities of copper,brass,and steel are $0.92$,$0.26$,and $0.12 \ CGS$ units respectively. The rate of heat flow through the copper rod is ....... $cal \ s^{-1}$.

Which of the following statements is/are $CORRECT$?
$(i)$ $A$ body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter.
$(ii)$ $A$ brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.
$(iii)$ The Earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold.
$(iv)$ Heating systems based on the circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on the circulation of hot water.
