Heat energy is incident on the surface at the rate of 1000J/min. If coefficient of absorption is 0.8 and coefficient of reflection is 0.1 then heat energy transmitted by the surface in 5 minutes is
Heat energy is incident on the surface at the rate of 1000J/min. If coefficient of absorption is 0.8 and coefficient of reflection is 0.1 then heat energy transmitted by the surface in 5 minutes is
  1. 100J
  2. 500J
  3. 700J
  4. 900J

Solution: The correct answer is 2. 500 J

Let, the heat transmitted per minute be given by Now,

The total incident energy = energy absorbed + energy reflected + energy transmitted
Heat energy transmitted in 5 minutes =
