Which of the following is a good conductor of heat?

  1. Glass

  2. Plastic

  3. Wood

  4. Copper

  5. Cotton


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Copper is a good conductor of heat. For  e.g., Cooling coils of air-conditioners are made of copper as copper readily conducts away heat.

Which of the following statements is/are false? a. The clinical thermometer range is between 35 degree celsius to 42 degree celsius. b. Light coloured objects, absorb more heat radiations than the dark coloured objects. c. A clinical thermometer has a kink that prevents the mercury to rise or fall.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Light coloured objects absorb more heat radiations than the dark coloured objects, is a false statement. This is the correct option.  Dark coloured objects absorb more heat radiations than the light coloured objects, is the correct statement.

Which of the following is/are the precautions to be observed while reading laboratory thermometer?

  1. The thermometer should be kept upright either by freely suspending it or by fixing it in cork, etc.

  2. The bulb of the thermometer should be completely surrounded by the liquid.

  3. The bulb of the thermometer should not touch the sides or the base of the container.

  4. The reading should be taken only when the level of the mercury is steady for 30 seconds or more.

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option, as all of the above are the correct precautions to be taken while taking the reading of the laboratory thermometer.

Which of the following is a bad conductor of heat?

  1. Water

  2. Silver

  3. Iron

  4. Aluminium

  5. Gold


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Water is a bad conductor of heat.

Which of the following statements is/are false? a. No medium is required for transfer of heat by radiation. b. The range in a laboratory thermometer is from 0 degrees to 90 degrees centigrade. c. The process of transference of heat in material bodies due to the actual movement of the particles of the medium is called convection.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The range in a laboratory thermometer is from 0 degrees to 90 degrees centigrade, is a false statement. Thus, it is the correct option. The range in a laboratory thermometer is from minus 10 degrees to 110 degrees centigrade.

Which of the following form of energies is transferred from one body to another body due to temperature differences between them?

  1. Sound energy

  2. Heat energy

  3. Electrical energy

  4. Light energy

  5. Magnetic energy


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Heat energy is the energy transferred from one body to another body due to temperature differences between them.

Which of the following is not a condition for the transfer of heat energy by conduction between two objects? a. The two objects must be in contact with one another. b. The objects must be made up of same metal, so that heat energy can transfer from one to another. c. The temperature of both the objects must be different from one another.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and c

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 This is the correct option. The objects need not be made up of same metal, so that heat energy can transfer from one to another. 

Which of the following instruments is used to measure very high temperatures like those of flames, furnaces, ovens. etc.

  1. Clinical thermometer

  2. Laboratory Thermometers

  3. Bimetal thermometer

  4. Anemometer

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Bimetal thermometers are used to measure very high temperatures like those of flames, furnaces, etc.

Rahul's mother wants to check the body temperature of her son. Which of the following device should she use?

  1. Clinical thermometer

  2. Laboratory thermometer

  3. Anemometer

  4. Maximum - Minimum thermometer

  5. Bimetallic thermometer


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Clinical thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature.

Convection cannot take place in _______________.

  1. water

  2. mercury

  3. carbon dioxide

  4. air

  5. milk


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Convection cannot take place in mercury. Mercury gets heated by conduction and not by convection, as it is a very good conductor of heat.

The normal temperature of human body is ____________.

  1. 37oC

  2. 37oF

  3. 37 K

  4. 98.6oC

  5. 98.6 K


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The normal temperature of human body is 37oC.

By which of the following processes is the impure and warm air inside a room continuously replaced by fresh air from outside?

  1. Conduction

  2. Ventilation

  3. Radiation

  4. Convection

  5. Refrigeration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Ventilation is the process by which impure and warm air inside a room is continuously replaced by fresh air from outside.

Which of the following is the lower standard point of ice?

    • 10oC
  1. 37oC

  2. 0oC

  3. 100oC

  4. 90oC


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 This is the correct option. This is the lower standard point of ice.

Which of the following statements is/are false? a. Convection is the fastest mode of heat transfer from a hot body to a cold body. b. Black bodies are good absorbers of radiant heat whereas white bodies are poor absorbers of radiant heat. c. Convection is not possible in a solid because the molecules of a solid are held strongly due to intermolecular forces.

  1. Only c

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only a


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Convection is the fastest mode of heat transfer from a hot body to a cold body, is a false statement. Radiation, and not convection,  is the fastest mode of heat transfer from a hot body to a cold body. Hence, this is the correct option.

Which of the following statements is/are false? a. The undersides of a cooking vessel is made black because black underside absorbs radiant heat rapidly from the fire. b. The radiant heat, a kind of electromagnetic energy, travels in space at the speed of 3 * 105 km/sec. c. The process of convection is not possible in air.

  1. Only c

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only a

  4. Only b

  5. Only b and c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option, as the process of convection is not possible in air, is a false statement. The process of convection is possible in air.
