The temperature of the surface of the sun is approximately 6000 K. If we take a big lens and focus the sun rays, can we produce atemperatuer of 8000 K?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, According to second law of thermodynamics heat itself cannot be transferred from a cold body to a hot body i.e., the creation of temperature of 8000 K by transferring heat from a cold body at 6000 K is not possible by means of a lens. This is the violation of the second law of thermodynamics
