(S) Large black plates (1) and (2) are maintained at and , with . A and B are large plates of emissivity 1. Consider steady state.
| (4) Heat energy radiated by B is greater than A. |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
For P, the sphere temperatures in the isothermal chamber are equal at equilibrium.
A has higher emissivity, so its radiated power is greater: P → 3,1.
For Q, the peak for B occurs at a shorter wavelength.
With equal surface areas, B radiates more: Q → 2,4.
For R, heat flows from the powered inner sphere A to shell B.
Therefore R → 1.
For S, heat flows from the hotter surface (1) toward surface (2).
Therefore S → 1. The printed code is (B).
