[UPSC IFoS 2022] Black Body Radiation (Q438, 15M)
A solid copper sphere of mass 100\text{ g} kept at 300\text{ K} is suspended inside a closed chamber. The walls of the chamber are kept at 0\text{ K}. Assuming that the sphere acts as a blackbody, calculate the time required for its temperature to drop to half of the initial value. (Given that density of copper is 8\cdot 96 \times 10^3\text{ kg m}^{-3}, its specific heat capacity is 389\text{ J kg}^{-1}\text{ K}^{-1})
