Very Short Answer Type Questions :
1. You put a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leave it unitil its temperature dropped by 10.0 K. What is
its temperature change in C°.
Sol. 10 C°
2. Why are we advised to store medicine below 86°F?
Sol. A temperature of 86 °F is approximately equal to 30°C. Above this temperature, chemical reactions may take
place resulting in a change in the composition of the medicine. The medicine may then become ineffective
or even harmful.
3. Why does a blackbody appear brighter than the polished surface when both are heated to the same
temperature?
Sol. This is due to the reason that compared to a polished surface, a blackbody is a good emitter.
4. Why is it hotter at the same distance over the top of a fire than in front of it?
Sol. In front of the fire, heat is received only by radiation. But at the same distance over the fire, heat is received
both due to radiation as well as convection.
5. A beaker full of hot water is placed on a wooden table. Does it lose heat? If yes, in what ways?
Sol. The beaker lose heat mainly due to radiation. A small part of heat will be lost to the wooden table on account
of conduction also.
6. It is warmer to wear two thin shirts than a single thick shirt of the same material. Why?
Sol. It is on account of the reason that air, which is very poor conductor of heat, is enclosed between two thin
blankets (or shirts). Thus, the heat loss from the body to the surroundings is less than when we use a single
thick blanket (or shirts)
7. What is the S.I. unit of heat energy?
Sol. joule (J)

Short Answer Type Questions :
11. Define the water equivalent of a body briefly.
Sol. Water Equivalent : If the heat capacity of a body is expressed in term of mass of water, it is called water
equivalent of the body.
Water equivalent of a body is the quantity of water whose temperature would be raised through 1 C° (or 1K)
by the same amount of heat as required to raise the temperature of the body through 1 C° (or 1 K).
It is denoted by w and is numerically equal to the product of mass (m) of the body and its specific heat.
12. Distinguish melting and freezing points.
Sol. The temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid is called melting point and the temperature at which
a liquid changes into a solid is called its freezing point. For most crystalline substances, the melting and the
freezing points are the same.

14. State the Newton’s law of cooling.
Sol. Newton’s law of Cooling : It is a common observation that bodies at temperatures higher than that of the
surroundings lose heat. Newton was the first to make a scientific study in this direction.
From experimental observations, he came to a conclusion which is known as the Newton’s law of cooling
according to which :
The rate of loss of heat of a body is directly proportional to the excess of the temperature of the body w.r.t.,

15. What do you mean by thermal capacity of a body?
Sol. Heat capacity or Thermal capacity of a body, if instead of unit mass, we consider the whole body, we talk of
its heat capacity or thermal capacity. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
the body by one degree.

32. Derive the expression for the rate of flow of heat energy through a conductor maintained at different temperature
at its two ends.
Sol. Heat transfer occurs only between regions that are at different temperatures, and the direction of heat flow is
always from higher to lower temperature. Figure given below shows a rod of conducting material with cross-
sectional area A and length L. The left end of the rod is kept at a temperature T1 and the right end at a lower
temperature T2, so heat flows from left to right. The sides of the rod are covered by an insulator, so no heat
transfer occurs at the sides.

Fig. (a) Steady state heat flow due to conduction in a uniform rod
When a quantity of heat dQ is transferred through the rod in a time dt, the rate of heat now is dQ/dt. We
dQ
call this rate the heat current, denoted by H. That is, H = . Experiments show that the heat current is
dt
proportional to the cross-sectional area A of the rod and to the temperature difference (T1 – T2) and is inversely
proportional to the rod length L.
Introducing a proportionality constant K called the thermal conductivity of the material, we have

33. Define the coefficient of thermal conductivity and explain the formula used. Why do metals have higher
conductivity than insulator?
Sol. Coefficient of thermal conductivity of a substance is numerically equal to heat conducted during steady state
in unit time through unit area of any section of the substance under unit temperature gradient (the heat flow
being normal to the area).

Thermal conduction requires a material medium. Different substances have different abilities to conduct heat.
Iron conducts heat easily than glass. This fact is expressed by saying that the thermal conductivity of iron
is higher than that of glass. Metals are the best conductors of heat. Liquids are poor conductors and all liquids
have roughly the same thermal conductivity. The conductivity of gases is much less than that of liquids. Bad
conductors are also called non conductors or insulators.
34. How Newton’s law of cooling can be experimentally verified?
Sol. Experimental arrangement : The apparatus used is shown in figure. It consists of a copper calorimeter (C)
blackened from outside (so as to ensure the same nature of its entire radiating surface) and fitted with a cork
containing a half degree thermometer (T ), a stirrer (s). Water heated to about 30°C to 40°C above the room
temperature is put in the calorimeter. It is then suspended in a double walled vessel V. The space between
the wall of this vessel is filled with water at room temperature. This serves as a constant temperature enclosure.
Another half degree thermometer (T0) is used to measure the temperature of the enclosure.

Water is gently stirred and its temperature (T) is noted regularly first after every half minute, then after every
minute and towards the end after every two minutes. The process is repeated till the temperature of water in
the calorimeter is about 5°C above the mean temperature (T0) of the enclosure. The values of (T – T0) are
calculated for various values of time t. A graph is then plotted between ln(T – T0) and t. The graph is found
to be a straight line as shown in Figure (b), thereby verifying Newton’s law of cooling.

19. Obtain the expression for the force developed in a rod which is under the thermal stress.
Sol. When a rod whose end are rigidly fixed (such as to prevent from expansion or contraction) undergoes a change
in temperature, thermal stresses are developed in the rod. This is because if the temperature is increased,
the rod has a tendency to expand but since, it is fixed at two ends, the rod exerts a force on supports.

Thermal strain =  T

So, thermal stress = (Y) (thermal strain) = YT
or, force on supports F = A (stress) = YAT
Here, Y = Young’s modulus of elasticity of the rod.

21. Suppose a liquid in a container is heated at the top rather than at the bottom. What is the main process by
which the rest of the liquid becomes hot?
Sol. The main process by which the rest of the liquid becomes hot is conduction. This is because in convection
flow of liquid is required and this does not happen in this situation.
