Which of the following statements is true/correct
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Newton’s law of cooling, an appropriate form of Stefan’s law, is valid only for natural convection
Option B (Newton’s law of cooling, an appropriate form of Stefan’s law, is valid only for natural convection) is correct because Newton's law of cooling is indeed an approximation of Stefan's law applicable under specific conditions, particularly natural convection.

Assertion: A fluid in vacuum expands such that it changes to gaseous state. Its temperature decreases.
Reason: It uses its internal energy as heat of vaporization.
Reason: It uses its internal energy as heat of vaporization.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
The assertion is true because fluid expansion in a vacuum leads to a gaseous state and temperature decrease. The reason is also true because the fluid uses internal energy for vaporization.

Mercury is often used in clinical thermometers. Which one of the following properties of mercury is not a reason for this?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
It has high density
Option D (It has high density) is not a reason for using mercury in clinical thermometers because while mercury does have high density, the key properties are its large thermal expansion coefficient, shiny appearance, and liquid state at room temperature.

A composite rod made of copper () and steel () is heated. Then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
It bends with steel on concave side
Option A (It bends with steel on concave side) is correct because steel has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than copper, causing it to be on the concave side when heated.

(R): Air surrounding the fire conducts more heat upwards.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If A is true but R is false
Option C (If A is true but R is false) is correct because it is hotter over the top of a fire due to convection, not conduction.

When two ends of a rod wrapped with cotton are maintained at different temperatures and after same time every point of the rod attains a constant temperature, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Each point of the rod is giving heat to its neighbour at the same rate at which it is receiving heat
Option D (Each point of the rod is giving heat to its neighbour at the same rate at which it is receiving heat) is correct because at a constant temperature distribution, the heat flow into each point must equal the heat flow out, maintaining a steady state.

When a rod is heated but prevented from expanding, the stress developed is independent of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Length of rod
Option C (Length of rod) is correct because the stress developed in a rod prevented from expanding depends on the material, rise in temperature, and Young's modulus, but not the length of the rod.

Statement-II: For anisotropic solids .
Statement-II: For anisotropic solids .
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is true and statement-II is true
Statement-I is true and statement-II is true is the correct answer because the volume coefficient of expansion is the sum of the linear coefficients of expansion along three perpendicular axes for anisotropic solids, and the calculation in Statement-I is correct.

A perfect black body is one whose emissive power is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Unity
Option A (Maximum) is incorrect. Option C (Unity) is correct because a perfect black body absorbs all incident radiation, meaning its absorptivity is 1. Since emissivity equals absorptivity for a body in thermal equilibrium, its emissive power is also maximum, but it's more accurate to say its emissivity is unity.
