$A$ 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

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?

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 $g$)

The power radiated by a black body is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy around the wavelength $\lambda_0$. If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy around wavelength $\frac{3}{4}\lambda_0$,the power radiated by it will increase by a factor of

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
