Question

A solid aluminium sphere and a solid copper sphere of twice the radius are heated to the same temperature and are allowed to cool under identical surrounding temperatures. Assume that the emissivity of both the spheres is the same. Find the ratio of:

The rate of heat loss from the aluminium sphere to the rate of heat loss from the copper sphere.
The rate of fall of temperature of the aluminium sphere to the rate of fall of temperature of the copper sphere. The specific heat capacity of aluminium ${= 900Jkg^{-1}}^\circ C^{-1}$ and that of copper ${= 390Jkg^{-1}}^\circ C^{-1}.$ The density of copper = 3.4 times the density of aluminium.

Answer

E → Energy radiated per unit area per unit time
Rate of heat flow → Energy radiated

Per time $=\text{E}\times\text{A}$

So, $\text{E}_\text{Al}=\frac{\text{e}\sigma\text{T}^4\times\text{A}}{\text{e}\sigma\text{T}^4\times\text{A}}$

$=\frac{4\pi\text{r}^2}{4\pi(2\text{r})^2}$

$=\frac{1}{4}$ $\big[\therefore1:4\big]$

Emissivity of both are same

$=\frac{\text{m}_1\text{S}_1\text{dT}_1}{\text{m}_2\text{S}_2\text{dT}_2}=1$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dT}_1}{\text{dT}_2}=\frac{\text{m}_2\text{S}_2}{\text{m}_1\text{S}_1}$

$=\frac{\text{s}_14\pi\text{r}_1^3\times\text{S}_2}{\text{s}_24\pi\text{r}_2^3\times\text{S}_1}$

$=\frac{1\times\pi\times900}{3.4\times8\pi\times390}$

$=1:2:9$

Consider the situation shown in figure. The elevator is going up with an acceleration of $2.00m/s^2$ and the focal length of the mirror is 12.0cm. All the surfaces are smooth and the pulley is light.

Continuous X-rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming X-rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic X-rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only $\text{K}_\alpha$ intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation $v - (25 \times 10^{14}Hz)(Z - 1)^2.$
