Heat energy is incident on the surface at the rate of \(1000 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{min}\). If coefficient of absorption is 0.8 and coefficient of reflection is 0.1 , then heat energy transmitted by the surface in 5 minute is

  1. A 700 J
  2. B 500 J
  3. C 100 J
  4. D 900 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 500 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Considering energy conservation:
Coe. of transmission +Coe. of absorption +Coe. of reflection \(=1\)
Therefore, Coefficient of transmission \(=1-0.8-0.1=0.1\)
It means \(10 \%\) of incident energy will be transmitted.
Hence transmitted energy in \(5 \mathrm{~min}\)
\(=1000 \times 0.1 \times 5=500 \mathrm{~J}\)
