A vertical glass jar is filled with water at

10^{\circ} {C}

. It has one thermometer at the top and another at the bottom. The central region of the jar is gradually cooled. It is found that the bottom thermometer reads

4^{\circ} {C}

earlier than the top thermometer. And the top thermometer reads

0^{\circ} {C}

earlier than the bottom thermometer. This is because

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Water expands when cooled from

4^0 {C}

0^{\circ} {C}

Option D (Water expands when cooled from

4^0 {C}

0^{\circ} {C}

) is correct because water has a unique property of expanding when cooled from 4°C to 0°C, making the colder water less dense and rise to the top.

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

at temp. of

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
