Read the following paragraph and answer the questions: If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing gue to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses haet energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistance box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only ), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. Which principle do we learn about from this process?

A Carnot engine, having an efficiency of eta= 1/10 as heat engine, is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is 10 J, the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is

A Carnot engine, whose efficiency is 40% , takes in heat from a source maintained at a temperature of 500K. It is desired to have an engine of efficiency 60% . Then, the intake temperature for the same exhaust (sink) temperature must be:

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below: Renewable energy is energy produced from sources that do not deplete or can be replensied within a human's life time. The most common examples include wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydroelectric power. This is in contrast to non-renewable energy is derived directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight can be captured directly using solar technologies. The sun's heat drives winds, whose energy is captured with turbines. Plants also rely on the sun to grow and their stored energy can be utilized for bioenergy. Not all renewable energy sources rely on the sun. For examples, geothermal energy utilizes the Earth's internal heat, tidal energy relies on the gravitational pull of the moon, and hydroelectric power relies on the flow of water. Which type of energy do we mostly use in India?

Parallel rays of light of intensity I=912 WM^-2 are incident on a spherical black body kept in surroundings of temperature 300K. Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant sigma=5.7xx10^-8 Wm^-2K^-4 and assume that the energy exchange with the surroundings is only through radiation. The final steady state temperature of the black body is close to

A body having a surface area of 50cm^2 radiates 300J of energy per minute at a temperature of 727^(@)C . The emissivity of the body is ( Stefan's constant =5.67xx10^(-8)W//m^2K^4 )

Solar radiation emitted by sun resembles that emitted by a black body at a wavelength of about 4800 overset @ (A) ,. If the sun were to cool down from 6000K to 3000K then the peak intensity would occur at a wavelength
