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 ....... $cal \ s^{-1}$.

Three discs $A, B$ and $C$ having radii $2\; m, 4\; m,$ and $6\; m$ respectively are coated with carbon black on their outer surfaces. The wavelengths corresponding to maximum intensity are $300\; nm, 400\; nm$ and $500\; nm$ respectively. The power radiated by them are $Q_A, Q_B$ and $Q_C$ respectively. Which of the following is true?

Statement $A$: Convection involves flow of matter within a fluid due to unequal temperatures of its parts.
Statement $B$: $A$ hot bar placed under a running tap water loses heat due to the effect of convection within water.
Statement $C$: Heat transfer always involves a temperature difference between two systems.

$A$ black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\lambda$ at temperature $T_1$ and its emissive power is $E$. When the temperature of the body is changed to $T_2$, it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\frac{2\lambda}{3}$, then the emissive power will become

One end of a uniform metal rod of length $100 \, cm$ is placed in ice and the other end is placed in boiling water. A point of the rod which is at a distance of $60 \, cm$ from the ice end is maintained at a constant temperature of $325^{\circ} C$. If $2 \, g$ of water is converted into steam per second, the mass of ice melted per second in steady state is (Latent heat of steam $= 6.75$ times latent heat of fusion of ice). (in $g$)

$A$ hot black body emits energy at the rate of $16 \ J \ m^{-2} \ s^{-1}$ and its most intense radiation corresponds to $20,000 \ \mathring{A}$. When the temperature of this body is further increased and its most intense radiation corresponds to $10,000 \ \mathring{A}$,then the energy radiated in $J \ m^{-2} \ s^{-1}$ will be
