There are certain substances which normally pass from the solid to the vapour state directly and vice versa.

The change from solid state to vapour state without passing through the liquid state is called sublimation, and the substance is said to sublime.

Dry ice (solid $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ ) sublimes, so also iodine.

During the sublimation process both the solid and vapour states of a substance coexist in thermal equilibrium.

A metal rod $\mathrm{AB}$ of length $10 x$ has its one end $\mathrm{A}$ in ice at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and the other end $\mathrm{B}$ in water at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If a point $\mathrm{P}$ on the rod is maintained at $400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, then it is found that equal amounts of water and ice evaporate and melt per unit time. The latent heat of evaporation of water is $540 \ \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}$ and latent heat of melting of ice is $80 \ \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}$. If the point $\mathrm{P}$ is at a distance of $\lambda x$ from the ice end $\mathrm{A}$, find the value of $\lambda$.
