1 of 1

Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion (A) : A conducting rod is placed between boiling water and ice. If rod is broken into two equal parts and two parts are connected side by side, then rate of melting of ice will increase to four times.

Reason (R) : Thermal resistance will become four times.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

Option C (If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false) is correct because while the assertion about increased melting rate is true, the thermal resistance becomes one-fourth, not four times.

Four identical calorimeters painted in different colours, are heated to same temperature and then allowed to cool in vacuum. Which will cool fastest? An ice cube of dimensions

60 \mathrm{~cm} \times 50 \mathrm{~cm} \times 20 \mathrm{~cm}

is placed in an insulation box of wall thickness

1 \mathrm{~cm}

. The box keeping the ice cube at

0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

of temperature is brought to a room of temperature

40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

. The rate of melting of ice is approximately.

(Latent heat of fusion of ice is

3.4 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}

and thermal conducting of insulation wall is

\left. {0.05{\text{W}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 1}}^\circ {{\text{C}}^{ - 1}}} \right)

A black body radiates heat energy at the rate of

2 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{sm}^2

127^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

. The temp of black body at which rate becomes

32 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}-\mathrm{m}^2

is: The amount of radiation emitted by a perfectly black body is proportional to Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a body through 1K is called its If Poisson’s ratio
