Heat energy is incident on the surface of a material at the rate of $1000 \ J \ min^{-1}$. If the coefficient of absorption is $0.8$ and the coefficient of reflection is $0.1$,then the amount of heat energy transmitted through the material in $5$ minutes is: (in $J$)

The graph shown in the adjacent diagram represents the variation of temperature $(T)$ of two bodies,$x$ and $y$,having the same surface area,with time $(t)$ due to the emission of radiation. Find the correct relation between their emissivities $(e)$ and absorptive powers $(a)$.

Three very large plates of the same area are kept parallel and close to each other. They are considered as ideal black surfaces and have very high thermal conductivity. The first and third plates are maintained at temperatures $2\ T$ and $3\ T$ respectively. The temperature of the middle (i.e.,second) plate under steady-state condition is
