A wire of length 10 cm and diameter 0.5 mm is used in a bulb. The temperature of the wire is $1727^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and power radiated by the wire is 94.2 W . Its emissivity is $\frac{x}{8}$ where $x=$ _________.
(Given $\sigma=6.0 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~m}^{-2} \mathrm{~K}^{-4}, \pi=3.14$ and assume that the emissivity of wire material is same at all wavelength.)
Explanation:
To determine the emissivity ($\varepsilon$) of the wire used in the bulb, we start with the given parameters and the formula for power radiated by a black body:
Length of the wire ($L$): 10 cm = 0.1 m
Diameter of the wire ($d$): 0.5 mm = 0.0005 m
Temperature of the wire ($T$): $1727^{\circ} \mathrm{C} = 2000 \mathrm{K}$
Power radiated ($P$): 94.2 W
The power radiated by the wire can be expressed as:
$ P = \varepsilon \sigma A T^4 $
Where:
$\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant ($6.0 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~m}^{-2} \mathrm{~K}^{-4}$)
$A$ is the surface area of the wire, calculated using the formula for the surface area of a cylinder: $A = \pi d L$
Substituting the given values into the formula:
$ 94.2 = \varepsilon \times (6 \times 10^{-8}) \times (3.14 \times 0.0005 \times 0.1) \times (2000)^4 $
Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:
$ 94.2 = \varepsilon \times (6 \times 10^{-8}) \times 3.14 \times 0.0005 \times 0.1 \times (2000)^4 $
On solving for $\varepsilon$:
$ \varepsilon = \frac{94.2}{[(6 \times 10^{-8}) \times 3.14 \times 0.0005 \times 0.1 \times (2000)^4]} $
Given that $\varepsilon$ is $\frac{x}{8}$, evaluating this expression provides the value of $x = 5$. Thus, the emissivity $\varepsilon$ is $\frac{5}{8}$.

The internal energy of air in $4 \mathrm{~m} \times 4 \mathrm{~m} \times 3 \mathrm{~m}$ sized room at 1 atmospheric pressure will be___________________$\times 10^6 \mathrm{~J}$
(Consider air as diatomic molecule)
Explanation:
To determine the internal energy of the air in a room that measures $4 \, \mathrm{m} \times 4 \, \mathrm{m} \times 3 \, \mathrm{m}$ at 1 atmospheric pressure, we can follow these steps using the properties of a diatomic gas:
The volume of the room, $ V $, is calculated as:
$ V = 4 \, \mathrm{m} \times 4 \, \mathrm{m} \times 3 \, \mathrm{m} = 48 \, \mathrm{m}^3 $
For a diatomic gas like air, the internal energy $ U $ is given by the formula:
$ U = nC_v T = n \frac{5RT}{2} $
Where:
$ n $ is the number of moles,
$ C_v $ is the molar heat capacity at constant volume,
$ R $ is the ideal gas constant, and
$ T $ is the temperature in Kelvin.
Using the ideal gas law, $ PV = nRT $, we can substitute for $ nRT $:
$ nRT = PV $
Therefore, the internal energy $ U $ becomes:
$ U = \frac{5}{2} PV $
Substituting the given values for atmospheric pressure $ P = 10^5 \, \mathrm{Pa} $ (1 atm) and volume $ V = 48 \, \mathrm{m}^3 $:
$ U = \frac{5}{2} \times 10^5 \, \mathrm{Pa} \times 48 \, \mathrm{m}^3 = 12 \times 10^6 \, \mathrm{J} $
Thus, the internal energy of the air in the room is $ 12 \times 10^6 \, \mathrm{J} $.
$\gamma_{\mathrm{A}}$ is the specific heat ratio of monoatomic gas A having 3 translational degrees of freedom. $\gamma_B$ is the specific heat ratio of polyatomic gas $B$ having 3 translational, 3 rotational degrees of freedom and 1 vibrational mode. If $\frac{\gamma_A}{\gamma_B}=\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)$, then the value of $n$ is ________ .
Explanation:
To determine the value of $ n $, we start by considering the specific heat ratios for gases A and B.
For gas A, which is monoatomic with 3 translational degrees of freedom:
The degrees of freedom, $ f_A $, is 3.
Therefore, $ \gamma_A = \frac{f_A + 2}{f_A} = \frac{3 + 2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} $.
For gas B, which is polyatomic with 3 translational, 3 rotational degrees of freedom, and 1 vibrational mode:
The total degrees of freedom, $ f_B $, is $ 3 + 3 + 2 \times 1 = 8 $ (since one vibrational mode contributes 2 degrees of freedom: 1 kinetic + 1 potential).
Therefore, $ \gamma_B = \frac{f_B + 2}{f_B} = \frac{8 + 2}{8} = \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4} $.
Now, the relation given is:
$ \frac{\gamma_A}{\gamma_B} = \left(1 + \frac{1}{n}\right) $
Substitute the values of $ \gamma_A $ and $ \gamma_B $:
$ \frac{\frac{5}{3}}{\frac{5}{4}} = \frac{5}{3} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{20}{15} = \frac{4}{3} $
Equating to the given form:
$ \frac{4}{3} = 1 + \frac{1}{n} $
Thus, we have:
$ \frac{4}{3} - 1 = \frac{1}{n} $
$ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{n} $
Solving for $ n $:
$ n = 3 $
Hence, the value of $ n $ is 3.
A container of fixed volume contains a gas at 27°C. To double the pressure of the gas, the temperature of gas should be raised to _____ °C.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use the combined gas law in terms of pressure ($P$) and temperature ($T$). For a gas with a fixed volume, the relationship is given as:
$ \frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} $
where:
$ P_1 $ is the initial pressure,
$ T_1 $ is the initial temperature in Kelvin,
$ P_2 $ is the final pressure,
$ T_2 $ is the final temperature in Kelvin.
Given that the initial temperature $ T_1 = 27°C $, we need to convert it to Kelvin:
$ T_1 = 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15 \, \text{K} $
The final pressure $ P_2 $ is twice the initial pressure ($ P_2 = 2P_1 $). Substituting these values into the gas law equation gives:
$ \frac{P_1}{300.15} = \frac{2P_1}{T_2} $
Solving for $ T_2 $:
Cancel $ P_1 $ from both sides:
$ \frac{1}{300.15} = \frac{2}{T_2} $
Rearrange to solve for $ T_2 $:
$ T_2 = 2 \times 300.15 = 600.3 \, \text{K} $
Convert the final temperature back to Celsius:
$ T_2 = 600.3 \, \text{K} - 273.15 = 327.15°C $
Therefore, to double the pressure of the gas, the temperature should be raised to approximately 327°C.
The temperature of 1 mole of an ideal monoatomic gas is increased by $50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at constant pressure. The total heat added and change in internal energy are $E_1$ and $E_2$, respectively. If $\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{x}{9}$ then the value of $x$ is _________.
Explanation:
$ Q = n\,C_P\,\Delta T \quad \text{and} \quad \Delta U = n\,C_V\,\Delta T $
For a monoatomic ideal gas, the molar specific heats are given by:
$ C_V = \frac{3}{2}R \quad \text{and} \quad C_P = C_V + R = \frac{5}{2}R $
Thus, the ratio of the heat added to the change in internal energy is:
$ \frac{Q}{\Delta U} = \frac{C_P}{C_V} = \frac{\frac{5}{2}R}{\frac{3}{2}R} = \frac{5}{3} $
Given that:
$ \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{x}{9} $
We equate the two ratios:
$ \frac{5}{3} = \frac{x}{9} $
Multiplying both sides by 9:
$ x = \frac{5}{3} \times 9 = 15 $
Thus, the value of $x$ is 15.
An ideal gas initially at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ temperature, is compressed suddenly to one fourth of its volume. If the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to that at constant volume is $3 / 2$, the change in temperature due to the thermodynamic process is _________ K.
Explanation:
We’re given an ideal gas initially at $T_i = 0^\circ \mathrm{C} = 273\,\mathrm{K}.$ The gas is suddenly compressed to one-fourth of its initial volume, and we are told that
$\gamma = \frac{c_p}{c_v} = \frac{3}{2}\,.$
For an adiabatic process (one in which there is no heat exchange), if the process were reversible, the relation between the temperature and volume would be
$T\, V^{\gamma-1} = \text{constant}\,.$
Even though the compression is “sudden” (and hence irreversible), the final equilibrium state of the gas is uniquely determined by its internal energy (which is a state function). That allows us to use the adiabatic relation between the initial and final states.
Here are the steps:
Write the adiabatic relation between the initial and final states:
$T_i\, V_i^{\gamma-1} = T_f\, V_f^{\gamma-1}\,.$
Since the gas is compressed to one-fourth of its volume, we have
$V_f = \frac{1}{4} V_i\,.$
Substitute this into the adiabatic relation:
$273\,V_i^{\gamma-1} = T_f \left(\frac{1}{4} V_i\right)^{\gamma-1}\,.$
With $\gamma = \frac{3}{2},$
$\gamma - 1 = \frac{3}{2} - 1 = \frac{1}{2}\,.$
So the relation becomes:
$273\,V_i^{1/2} = T_f \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{1/2} V_i^{1/2}\,.$
Cancel the common factor $V_i^{1/2}$ (provided it is nonzero) and simplify:
$273 = T_f \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\,.$
Now solve for the final temperature $T_f$:
$T_f = 273 \times 2 = 546\,\mathrm{K}\,.$
The change in temperature is then:
$\Delta T = T_f - T_i = 546 - 273 = 273\,\mathrm{K}\,.$
So, the change in temperature due to the thermodynamic process is $\boxed{273\,\mathrm{K}}.$
Three conductors of same length having thermal conductivity $k_1, k_2$ and $k_3$ are connected as shown in figure.

Area of cross sections of $1^{\text {st }}$ and $2^{\text {nd }}$ conductor are same and for $3^{\text {rd }}$ conductor it is double of the $1^{\text {st }}$ conductor. The temperatures are given in the figure. In steady state condition, the value of $\theta$ is _________ ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (Given : $\mathrm{k}_1=60 \mathrm{Js}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, \mathrm{k}_2=120 \mathrm{Js}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, \mathrm{k}_3=135 \mathrm{Js}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$ )
Explanation:

${R_1} = {{2L} \over {{K_1}A}}$
(As ${l_1} = {l_2} = {l_3} = l$
${A_1} = {A_2} = A/2$
${A_3} = A$)
${R_2} = {{2L} \over {{K_2}A}}$
${R_3} = {L \over {{K_3}A}}$
${I_1} + {I_2} = {I_3}$
$ \Rightarrow {{100 - \theta } \over {{{2L} \over {{K_1}A}}}} + {{100 - \theta } \over {{{2L} \over {{K_2}A}}}} = {{\theta - 0} \over {{L \over {{K_3}A}}}}$
$ \Rightarrow {{100 - \theta } \over 2}({K_1} + {K_2}) = {K_3}\theta $
$ \Rightarrow 50({K_1} + {K_2}) = \theta \left[ {{K_3} + {{{K_1} + {K_2}} \over 2}} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow 50(60 + 120) = \theta \left[ {135 + {{60 + 120} \over 2}} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow 50 \times 80 = \theta (135 + 90)$
$ \Rightarrow \theta = {{50 \times 180} \over {225}}$
$ \Rightarrow \theta = 40^\circ C$

Two identical plates P and Q , radiating as perfect black bodies, are kept in vacuum at constant absolute temperatures $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{P}}$ and $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{Q}}$, respectively, with $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{Q}}<\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{P}}$, as shown in Fig. 1. The radiated power transferred per unit area from P to Q is $W_0$. Subsequently, two more plates, identical to P and Q , are introduced between P and Q, as shown in Fig. 2. Assume that heat transfer takes place only between adjacent plates. If the power transferred per unit area in the direction from $P$ to $Q$ (Fig. 2) in the steady state is $W_S$, then the ratio $\frac{W_0}{W_S}$ is ________.
Explanation:
Since the plates are blackbodies, they emit radiation according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The power emitted per unit area by a blackbody is given by.
$ P=\sigma T^4 . $
Where, $\sigma=$ Stefan - Boltzmann constant
$ \sigma=5.67 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{k}^4 $
When two blackbodies face each other, the net power transfer per unit area from $P$ to $Q=$ power emitted by $P$ toward $Q$ - power emitted by $Q$ toward $P$
So,
$ W_0=\sigma T_p^4-\dot{\sigma} T_a^4=\sigma\left(T_p^4-T_a^4\right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...(i) $
After introducing two additional plates: assuming temperature $T_1$ and $T_2$ for these plates.
In the steady state, the power transfer per unit area through each interface (From $P$ to plate $1,1 \rightarrow 2,2 \rightarrow Q$ ) must be same, because there is no accumulation of energy in the intermediate plates.
So
$ \begin{aligned} & \sigma\left(T_p^4-T_1^4\right)=W_S \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...(ii)\\ & \sigma\left(T_1^4-T_2^4\right)=W_S \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...(iii)\end{aligned} $
and $\sigma\left(T_2^4-T_a^4\right)=W_S\,\,\,\,...(iv)$
by adding $e q^n$ (2), (3) and (4),
$ \begin{aligned} & \sigma\left(T_p^4-T _1^4+T_1^4-T_2^4+T_2^4-T_Q^4\right)=3 W_S \\ \Rightarrow & \sigma\left(T_p^4-T_Q^4\right)=3 W_S \\ \Rightarrow & W_0=3 W_S \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{W_0}{W_S}=3 \end{aligned} $
