  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. The human sensation of touch is not reliable in finding the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

The substances that allow heat energy to flow through them easily are called good conductors. Which of the following is a good conductor of heat?

  1. Plastic

  2. Glass

  3. Mica

  4. Mercury

  5. Ebonite

In which of the following medium(s) is convection not possible?

a. Liquid b. Solid c. Gases

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Convection is not possible in solids because in solids as the molecules are held together in solids by strong inter-molecular forces. As these molecules cannot travel to the source of heat energy, convection is not possible.

The radiant heat is a kind of electromagnetic energy. It travels in space at a speed of

  1. 3 x 104 m/s

  3. 3 x 106 Km/sec

  4. 3 x 108 m/sec

  5. 3 x 105 m/sec


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The radiant heat travels in space at a speed of 3 X 105 Km/sec.

Which of the following statements is/are false?

a. Radiation is the fastest mode of heat transfer from a hot body to a cold body. b. The process by which impure and warm air inside a room is continuously replaced by fresh air from outside is called ventilation. c. Good conductors help in the conservation of energy in a system.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. Bad conductors help in the conservation of energy in a system.

One feels more comfortable to wear white or light coloured clothes in hot summers because light coloured clothes are

  1. poor absorbers and poor radiators of heat

  2. poor absorbers, but good radiators of heat

  3. good absorbers and good radiators of heat

  4. good absorbers, but poor radiators of heat

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. One feels more comfortable to wear white or light coloured clothes in hot summers because light coloured clothes are poor absorbers and poor radiators of heat.

Which of the following statements is/are false?

a. Conduction starts once the two objects or the parts of the same object have attained the same temperature. b. Cooling coils of air conditioners are made of copper as they readily conduct away heat. c. Heat energy does flows through bad conductors, but at a very small rate as compared to good conductors.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. Conduction stops once the two objects or the parts of the same object have attained the same temperature.

Which of the following statements is/are false?

a. Maximum and minimum temperatures of the previous day, reported in weather reports are measured by a thermometer called bimetallic thermometer. b. A thermometer that is used by doctors to measure temperature of his patients is known as clinical thermometer. c. The thermometer that consists of a very fine glass tube having a very small bore called a capillary tube.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. Maximum and minimum temperatures of the previous day, reported in weather reports, are measured by a thermometer called maximum and minimum thermometer.

Celsius thermometer cannot measure higher temperatures like that of a candle flame because in that case,

  1. the thermometer will break due to excessive contraction of the mercury

  2. the thermometer will break due to excessive expansion of the mercury

  3. the thermometer will break due to the glass of thermometer getting too hot

  4. the thermometer will break due to the freezing of mercury

  5. the thermometer will break due to the melting of the capillary tube


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Celsius thermometer cannot measure higher temperatures like that of a candle flame because in that case, the thermometer will break, due to excessive expansion of the mercury.

Which of the following requires no medium to travel?

a. Conduction b. Convection c. Radiation

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Radiation does not require any medium to travel. Vast space between Earth and Sun is vaccum. Still, heat reaches the Earth.

Which of the following is not a precaution that should be observed while reading the laboratory thermometer?

  1. The temperature should be read keeping the line of sight in level of the mercury.

  2. The bulb of the thermometer should not touch the side or the base of the container.

  3. The stem of the thermometer should be completely dipped in the liquid.

  4. The thermometer should be kept upright.

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


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this is not a precaution that should be observed while reading the laboratory thermometer. One should not dip the stem of the thermometer in the liquid.

Which of the following is the best conductor of heat?

  1. Silver

  2. Copper

  3. Aluminium

  4. Gold

  5. Iron


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option as silver is the best conductor of heat but as it is expensive, it is not used extensively.

Match the following:

 
a. Conduction 1. It is the process of transfer of heat in material bodies, due to the actual movement of the particles of the medium.
b. Convection 2. It is the process of transfer of heat in material bodies, without the actual movement of the particles of the medium.
c. Radiation 3. It is the process of transfer of heat from a hot body to a cold body, without the aid of any external medium.
  1. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1

  2. a - 2, b - 1, c - 3

  3. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3

  4. a - 1, b - 3, c - 2

  5. a - 3, b - 1, c - 2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Conduction is the process of transfer of heat in material bodies, without the actual movement of the particles of the medium. Convection is the process of transfer of heat in material bodies, due to the actual movement of the particles of the medium. Radiation is the process of transfer of heat from a hot body to a cold body, without the aid of any external medium.
