Oxygen boils at $- {183^0}C$. This temperature is approximately

“Good emitters are good absorbers” is a statement concluded from

A sample of an ideal gas occupies a volume $V$ at a pressure $P$ and absolute temperature $T,$ the mass of each molecule is $m.$ The expression for the density of gas is ($k = \;$ Boltzmaan’s constant)

Assertion (A): In laying down a railway track a small gap is left between the ends of the two consecutive rails
Reason (R): It is to allow for the linear expansion of rails in summer.

A copper ball of mass 100 g is at a temperature $T$. It is dropped in a copper calorimeter of mass 100 g, filled with 170 g of water at room temperature. Subsequently, the temperature of the system is found to be $75^\circ C$. $T$ is (Given, room temperature $= 30^\circ C$, specific heat of copper $= 0.1\,\mathrm{cal/g}^\circ C$)

(A): For higher temperature, the peak emision wavelength of a black body shifts to lower wavelengths.
(R): Peak emission wavelength of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of temperature.

Assertion: If an electric fan be switched ON in a closed room, the air of the room will be cooled.
Reason: Fan air decreases the temperature of the room.

If $\lambda_{{m}}$ denotes the wavelength at which the radiative emission from a black body at a temperature $T {~K}$ is maximum, then

Assertion (A): A tightly closed metal lid of a glass bottle can be opened more easily if it is put in hot water for some time.
Reason (R): The coefficient of expansion of metal lid is greater than that of glass.

An anisotropic substance has coefficients of linear thermal expansions ${\alpha_1},\,\,{\alpha_2},\,\,{\alpha_3}$ along x, y, z axes respectively. Coefficient of cubical expansion of its material is

In a composite rod, when two rods of different lengths and of the same area of cross-section are joined end to end, then if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity, $\frac{l_1+l_2}{K}$ is equal to:

(A): As temperature of a black body is raised, wavelength corresponding to maximum energy reduces.
(R): Higher temperature would mean higher energy and hence wavelength.

A glass full of hot milk is poured on the table. It begins to cool gradually. Because of:

$50 \mathrm{~g}$ ice at $0{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in kept in an insulating vessel and $50 \mathrm{~g}$ water at $100{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is mixed in it. Then the final temperature of the mixture is (neglect the heat loss)

Statement-I: A platinum wire can be sealed through glass. But a brass one cannot be sealed through glass.

The temperature of a substance increases by ${27^0}C$. On the Kelvin scale this increase is equal to

Statement-I: A thick and thin metallic rods of same material heated through same rise of temperature then thermal stress is same.
Statement-II: Thermal stress is independent of area of cross section.
