A cup of coffee cools from \(90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in \(t\) minutes, when the room temperature is \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The time taken by a similar cup of coffee to cool from \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) at a room temperature same at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), is [NEET 2021]
In first conditions;
Given, the initial temperature of the cup of coffee,\(T_i=90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
The final temperature of the cup of coffee, \(T_f=80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
The time taken to drop the temperature \(90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(\mathrm{t}\).
The temperature of the surrounding, \(T_0=20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Using the Newton’s law of cooling, rate of cooling \(=\frac{d T}{d t}=K\left[\frac{T_i+T_f}{2}-T_0\right]\)
Substituting the values in the above equation, we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
\frac{90-80}{t} & =K\left[\frac{90+80}{2}-20\right] \\
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{10}{t} & =K[65] \Rightarrow K=\frac{2}{13 t}
\end{aligned}
\)
In second conditions;
The initial temperature of the cup of coffee,\(T_i^{\prime}=80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
The final temperature of the cup of coffee, \(T_f^{\prime}=60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Using the Newton’s law of cooling, rate of cooling \(=\frac{d T}{d t}=K\left[\frac{T_1^{\prime}+T_f^{\prime}}{2}-T_0\right]\)
Substituting the values in the above equation, we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
\frac{80-60}{t_1} & =\frac{2}{13 t}\left[\frac{60+80}{2}-20\right] \\
\frac{20}{t_1} & =\frac{2}{13 t}[50] \Rightarrow t_1=\frac{13}{5} t
\end{aligned}
\)
The quantities of heat required to raise the temperature of two solid copper spheres of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) \(\left(r_1=1.5 r_2\right)\) through \(1 \mathrm{~K}\) are in the ratio [NEET (Sep.) 2020]
Since, heat required, \(Q=m c \Delta T\)
\(
=\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \cdot \rho\right) c \Delta T \quad\left[\because m=V_{\text {sphere }} \rho\right]
\)
Since, \(\pi, \rho, c\) and \(T\) are constants.
\(
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad Q & \propto r^3 \text { or } \frac{Q_1}{Q_2}=\frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3} \\
& =\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3=\left(\frac{1.5 r_2}{r_2}\right)^3=\frac{27}{8}
\end{aligned}
\)
Three stars \(A, B, C\) have surface temperatures \(T_{A^{\prime}} T_{B^{\prime}} T_{c^{\prime}}\) respectively. Star A appears bluish, start \(B\) appears reddish and star \(C\) yellowish. Hence [NEET (Oct.) 2020]
According to Wein’s displacement law,
\(
\lambda=\frac{b}{T}
\)
i.e., \(\quad \lambda \propto \frac{1}{T} \dots(i)\)
We know that,
\(
\lambda_{\text {blish }}<\lambda_{\text {yellowish }}<\lambda_{\text {reddish }}
\)
Hence, using Eq. (i), we have
\(
T_A>T_C>T_B
\)
A copper rod of \(88 \mathrm{~cm}\) and an aluminium rod of unknown length have their increase in length independent of increase in temperature. The length of aluminium rod is [NEET (National) 2019]
Due to change in temperature, the thermal strain produced in a rod of length \(L\) is given by
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\Delta L}{L}=\alpha \Delta T \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \Delta L=L \alpha \Delta T \\
& \text { wherel }=\text { original length of rod and } \\
& \alpha=\text { coefficient of liner expansion of solid } \\
& \text { rod }
\end{aligned}
\)
As the change in length \((\Delta l)\) of the given two rods of copper and aluminium are independent of temperature change, i.e. \(\Delta T\) is same for both copper and aluminium.
\(
\begin{aligned}
L_{C u} \alpha_{C u} & =L_{A l} \alpha_{A l} \dots(i)\\
\text { Here, } \quad \alpha_{C u} & =1.7 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \\
& \alpha_{A l}=2.2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \\
\text { and } \quad L_{C u} & =88 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}
\)
Substituting the given values in Eq. (i), we get
\(
L_{A l}=\frac{L_{C u} \alpha_{C u}}{\alpha_{A l}}=\frac{1.7 \times 10^{-5} \times 88}{2.2 \times 10^{-5}} \simeq 68 \mathrm{~cm}
\)
An object kept in a large room having air temperature of \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) takes 12 minutes to cool from \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The time taken to cool for the same object from \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) would be nearly. [NEET Odisha 2019]
According to Newton’s law of cooling
\(
\frac{\left(T_1-T_2\right)}{t}=K\left(\frac{T_1+T_2}{2}-T_0\right)
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{(80-70)}{12}=K(75-25) \dots(i)\\
& \frac{(70-60)}{t^{\prime}}=K(65-25) \dots(ii)\\
& \Rightarrow t^{\prime}=12 \times=15 \mathrm{~min}
\end{aligned}
\)
A deep rectangular pond of surface area \(A\), containing water (density \(=\rho\) ), specific heat (capacity \(=s\) ), is located in a region where the outside air temperature is at a steady value of \(-26^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The thickness of the frozen ice layer in this pond, at a certain instant, is \(x\). Taking the thermal conductivity of ice as \(\mathrm{K}\), and its specific latent heat of fusion as L, the rate of increase of the thickness of ice layer, at this instant, would be given by [NEET Odisha 2019]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{KA}\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{T}}{\Delta \mathrm{x}}\right) \mathrm{dt} \\
& \mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{mL} \\
& \mathrm{mL}=\mathrm{KA}\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{T}}{\Delta \mathrm{x}}\right) \mathrm{dt} \\
& \mathrm{mL}=\frac{\mathrm{KA}[0-(-26)] \mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{x}} \\
& (\rho \mathrm{dx}) \mathrm{L}=\mathrm{KA} \frac{[0-(-26)]}{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{dt} \\
& \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{26 \mathrm{~K}}{\mathrm{x} \rho \mathrm{L}}
\end{aligned}

The power radiated by a black body is \(P\) and it radiates maximum energy at wavelength, \(\lambda_0\). If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy at wavelength \(\frac{3}{4} \lambda_0\), the power radiated by it becomes \(n P\). The value of \(n\) is [NEET 2018]
(d) From Wien’s law
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \lambda_{\max } \mathrm{T}=\text { constant } \\
& \text { i.e., } \lambda_{\max 1} \mathrm{~T}_1=\lambda_{\max _2} \mathrm{~T}_2 \\
& \Rightarrow \lambda_0 \mathrm{~T}_1=\frac{3 \lambda_0}{4} T_2 \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_2=\frac{4}{3} T_1
\end{aligned}
\)
As we know that, from Stefan’s law, the power radiated by a body at temperature \(T\) is given as
\(
P=\sigma A e T^4
\)
Power radiated \(P \propto T^4\)
So, \(\frac{P_2}{P_1}=n=\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^4=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^4=\frac{256}{81}\)
A spherical black body with a radius of \(12 \mathrm{~cm}\) radiates 450 watt power at \(500 \mathrm{~K}\). If the radius were halved and the temperature doubled, the power radiated in watt would be : [NEET 2017]
(d)
Radiated power of a black body,
\(
P=\sigma A T^4
\)
where, \(A=\) surface area of the body
\(T=\) temperature of the body
and \(\sigma=\) Stefan’s constant
When radius of the sphere is halved, new area,
\(
A^{\prime}=\frac{A}{4}
\)
\(\therefore\) Power radiated,
\(
\begin{aligned}
P^{\prime} & =\sigma\left(\frac{A}{4}\right)(2 T)^4=\frac{16}{4} \cdot\left(\sigma A T^4\right) \\
& =4 P=4 \times 450=1800 \text { watts }
\end{aligned}
\)
Two rods \(A\) and \(B\) of different materials are welded together as shown in figure. Their thermal conductivities are \(K_1\) and \(K_2\). The thermal conductivity of the composite rod will be [NEET 2017]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& R_1=\frac{d}{k_1 A} \\
& R_2=d K_2 A \\
& \operatorname{Req}=\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2} \\
& \frac{d}{k e q(2 A)}=\frac{\left(\frac{d}{k_1 A}\right)\left(\frac{d}{k_2 A}\right)}{A}\left(\frac{1}{k_1}+\frac{1}{k_2}\right) \\
& \frac{1}{2 k e q}=\frac{\frac{1}{k_1 k_2}}{\frac{k_1+k_2}{k_1 k_2}}=\frac{1}{k_1+k_2} \\
& k e q=\frac{k_1+k_2}{2}
\end{aligned}
\)
A black body is at a temperature of \(5760 \mathrm{~K}\). The energy of radiation emitted by the body at wavelength \(250 \mathrm{~nm}\) is \(\mathrm{U}_1\), at wavelength 500 \(\mathrm{nm}\) is \(\mathrm{U}_2\) and that at \(1000 \mathrm{~nm}\) is \(\mathrm{U}_3\). Wien’s constant, \(b=2.88 \times 10^6 \mathrm{nmK}\). Which of the following is correct? [NEET 2016]
(d) According to Wein’s displacement law, maximum amount of emitted radiation corresponding to \(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{T}}\)
\(
\lambda_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{2.88 \times 10^6 \mathrm{nmK}}{5760 \mathrm{~K}}=500 \mathrm{~nm}
\)
\(
\text { From the graph } \mathrm{U}_1<\mathrm{U}_2>\mathrm{U}_3
\)
A piece of ice falls from a height \(h\) so that it melts completely. Only one-quarter of the heat produced is absorbed by the ice and all energy of ice gets converted into heat during its fall. The value of \(h\) is [ Latent heat of ice is \(3.4 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}\) and \(g=10 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{kg}]\) [NEET 2016]
(b) According to the question, as conservation of energy, energy gained by the ice during its fall from height \(h\) is given by
\(
E=m g h
\)
As given, only one quarter of its energy is absorbed by the ice.
\(
\text { So, } \begin{aligned}
& \frac{m g h}{4}=m L \Rightarrow h=\frac{m L \times 4}{m g} \\
&= \frac{L \times 4}{g}=\frac{3.4 \times 10^5 \times 4}{10} \\
&=13.6 \times 10^4=136000 \mathrm{~m}=136 \mathrm{~km}
\end{aligned}
\)
The coefficient of linear expansion of brass and steel rods are \(\alpha_1\) and \(\alpha_2\). Lengths of brass and steel rods are \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) respectively. If \(\left(l_2-l_1\right)\) is maintained the same at all temperatures, which one of the following relations holds good? [NEET 2016,1999,1995]
According to question,
Coefficient of linear expression of brass
\(
=\alpha_1
\)
Coefficient of linear expression of steel
\(
=\alpha_2
\)
Length of brass and steel rods are \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) respectively.
As given difference increase in length \(\left(l_2^{\prime}-l_1^{\prime}\right)\) is same for all temperature.
So, \(l_2^{\prime}-l_1^{\prime}=l_2-l_1\)
\(\Rightarrow l_2\left(1+\alpha_2 \Delta t\right)-l_1\left(1+\alpha_1 \Delta t\right)=l_2-l_1\)
\(\Rightarrow l_2 \alpha_2=l_1 \alpha_1\)
Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), while the other one is at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). If the two bodies are brought into contact, then assuming no heat loss, the final common temperature is [NEET 2016]
Heat lost by 1st body \(=\) heat gained by 2nd body. Body at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) temperature has greater heat capacity than body at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) so final temperature will be closer to \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). So, \(T_c>50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
A body cools from a temperature \(3 T\) to \(2 T\) in 10 minutes. The room temperature is \(T\). Assume that Newton’s law of cooling is applicable. The temperature of the body at the end of next 10 minutes will be [NEET 2016]
Newton’s law of cooling
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{T}_1-\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{k}\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1+\mathrm{T}_2}{2}-\mathrm{T}\right) \\
& \frac{3 \mathrm{~T}-2 \mathrm{~T}}{10}=\mathrm{k}\left(\frac{5 \mathrm{~T}-2 \mathrm{~T}}{2}\right) \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{T}}{10}=\mathrm{k}\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{~T}}{2}\right)—-(\mathrm{i}) \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{2 \mathrm{~T}-\mathrm{T}^{\prime}}{10}=\mathrm{k}\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~T}+\mathrm{T}^{\prime}}{2}-\mathrm{T}\right) \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{2 \mathrm{~T}-\mathrm{T}^{\prime}}{10}=\mathrm{k}\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}^{\prime}}{2}\right)—–(\mathrm{ii})
\end{aligned}
\)
By solving (i) and (ii)
\(
\mathrm{T}^{\prime}=\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{~T}
\)
Alternate:
According to Newton’s law of cooling,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \Delta T=\Delta T_0 e^{-\lambda t} \\
& \Rightarrow 3 T-2 T=(3 T-T) e^{-\lambda \times 10} \dots(i) \\
& \text { Again for next } 10 \text { minutes } \\
& T^{\prime}-T=(2 T) \times e^{-\lambda(20)} \dots(ii) \\
& \text { From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get } \\
& T^{\prime}-T=(2 T)\left(e^{-\lambda \times 10}\right)^2=(2 T)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \\
& =\frac{T}{2} \\
& \therefore \quad T^{\prime}=T+\frac{T}{2}=\frac{3 T}{2} \\
&
\end{aligned}

The value of the coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is \(5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\). The fractional change in the density of glycerin for a rise of \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in its temperature is [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \rho=\rho_0(1+Y \Delta T) \\
& \rho-\rho_0=\rho_0 Y \Delta T \\
& \text { fraction change } \\
& \frac{\rho-\rho_0}{\rho_0}=Y \Delta T=5 \times 10^{-4} \times 40 \\
& =200 \times 10^{-4}=0.020
\end{aligned}
\)
On observing light from three different stars \(\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Q}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\), it was found that intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of \(P\), the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of \(\mathrm{R}\) and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of \(Q\). If \(T_P, T_Q\) and \(T_R\) are the respective absolute temperature of \(\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Q}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\), then it can be concluded from the above observations that [NEET 2015]
(a) From Wein’s displacement law
\(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}} \times \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{constant}\)
\(\mathrm{P}\) – max. intensity is at violet
\(\Rightarrow \lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\) is minimum \(\Rightarrow\) temp maximum
\(\mathrm{R}\) – max. intensity is at green
\(\Rightarrow \lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\) is moderate \(\Rightarrow\) temp moderate
\(\mathrm{Q}-\max _{\mathrm{max}}\). intensity is at red \(\Rightarrow \lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\) is maximum \(\Rightarrow\)
temp. minimum i.e., \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{p}}>\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{R}}>\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{Q}}\)
The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(110^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be \(4.0 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}\). If the ends are maintained at temperatures \(200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(210^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the rate of heat flow will be [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
Here, \(\quad \Delta T_1=110-100=10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{d \emptyset_1}{d t}=4 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s} \Rightarrow \Delta T_2=210-200=10^0 \mathrm{C} \\
& \frac{d \emptyset_2}{d t}=?
\end{aligned}
\)
As the rate of heat flow is directly proportional to the temperature difference and the temperature difference in both the cases is same i.e. \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). So, the same rate of heat will flow in the second case.
Hence, \(\quad \frac{d O_2}{d t}=4 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}\)
Steam at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is passed into \(20 \mathrm{~g}\) of water at \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). When water acquires a temperature of \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the mass of water present will be: [CBSE AIPMT 2014] [Take specific heat of water \(=1 \mathrm{cal} \mathrm{g}^{-1}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}\) and latent heat of steam \(=540 \mathrm{cal} \mathrm{g}^{-1}\) ]
(d) According to the principle of calorimetry.
Heat lost \(=\) Heat gained
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{mL}_{\mathrm{v}}+\mathrm{ms}_{\mathrm{w}} \Delta \theta=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{w}} \mathrm{s}_{\mathrm{w}} \Delta \theta \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{m} \times 540+\mathrm{m} \times 1 \times(100-80) =Â 20 \times 1 \times(80-10) \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}=2.5 \mathrm{~g}
\end{aligned}
\)
Therefore total mass of water at \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
\(
=(20+2.5) \mathrm{g}=22.5 \mathrm{~g}
\)
Certain quantity of water cools from \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in the first 5 minutes and to \(54^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in the next 5 minutes. The temperature of the surroundings is: [CBSE AIPMT 2014]
(a) Let the temperature of surroundings be \(\theta_0\)
By Newton’s law of cooling
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\theta_1-\theta_2}{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{k}\left[\frac{\theta_1+\theta_2}{2}-\theta_0\right] \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{70-60}{5}=\mathrm{k}\left[\frac{70+60}{2}-\theta_0\right] \\
& \Rightarrow 2=\mathrm{k}\left[65-\theta_0\right] \dots(i)\\
& \text { Similarly, } \frac{60-54}{5}=\mathrm{k}\left[\frac{60+54}{2}-\theta_0\right] \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{6}{5}=\mathrm{k}\left[57-\theta_0\right] \dots(ii)
\end{aligned}
\)
By dividing (i) by (ii) we have
\(
\frac{10}{6}=\frac{65-\theta_0}{57-\theta_0} \Rightarrow \theta_0==45^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
\)
A piece of iron is heated in a flame. If first becomes dull red then becomes reddish yellow and finally turns to white hot. The correct explanation for the above observation is possible by using [NEET 2013]
(a) Wein’s displacement law According to this law
\(
\lambda_{\max } \propto \frac{1}{T}
\)
or, \(\lambda_{\max } \times \mathrm{T}=\) constant
So, as the temperature increases \(\lambda\) decreases.
The density of water at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(998 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\) and at \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C} 992 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\). The coefficient of volume expansion of water is [NEET Karnatak 2013]
(b) Given
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\mathrm{T}_1=20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, & \mathrm{T}_2=40^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \\
\rho_{20}=998 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3, & \rho_{40}=992 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3
\end{array}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { As } \rho_{T 2}=\frac{\rho_{T 1}}{1+\gamma \wedge T}=\frac{\rho_{T 1}}{1+\gamma\left(T_2-T_1\right)} \\
& \therefore 992=\frac{998}{1+\gamma(40-20)} \Rightarrow 992=\frac{998}{1+20 \gamma} \\
& \Rightarrow 20 \gamma=\frac{998}{992}-1=\frac{6}{992} \\
& \Rightarrow \gamma=\frac{6}{992} \times \frac{1}{20}=3 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
\end{aligned}

Two metal rods 1 and 2 of same lengths have same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) and cross sectional areas \(A_1\) and \(A_2\), respectively. If the rate of heat conduction in rod 1 is four times that in rod 2 , then [NEET Karnatak 2013]
(b) \(Q_1=4 Q_2\) (Given)
\(
\Rightarrow \frac{K_1 A_1 \Delta t}{L}=4 \frac{K_2 A_2 \Delta t}{L} \Rightarrow K_1 A_1=4 K_2 A_2

Liquid oxygen at \(50 \mathrm{~K}\) is heated to \(300 \mathrm{~K}\) at constant pressure of 1 atm. The rate of heating is constant. Which one of the following graphs represents the variation of temperature with time? [CBSE AIPMT 2012]
(a) Initially liquid oxygen will gain the temperature up to its boiling temperature then it changes its state liquid to gas. After this again its temperature will increase, so the corresponding graph will be graph (a).
If the radius of a star is \(R\) and it acts as a black body, what would be the temperature of the star, in which the rate of energy production is Q? [CBSE AIPMT 2012]
( \(\sigma\) stands for Stefan’S constant)
(d) Stefan’s law for black body radiation \(Q=\sigma e A T^4\)

A slab of stone of area \(0.36 \mathrm{~m}^2\) and thickness \(0.1 \mathrm{~m}\) is exposed on the lower surface to steam at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). A block of ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour \(4.8 \mathrm{~kg}\) of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of the slab is :[2012 M]
(Given latent heat of fusion of ice \(=3.36 \times\) \(10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}\).)
Rate of heat given by steam \(=\) Rate of heat taken by ice
where \(K=\) Thermal conductivity of the slab
\(m=\) Mass of the ice
\(L=\) Latent heat of melting/fusion
\(A=\) Area of the slab
\(\frac{d Q}{d t}=\frac{K A(100-0)}{1}=m \frac{d L}{d t}\)
\(\frac{K \times 100 \times 0.36}{0.1}=\frac{4.8 \times 3.36 \times 10^5}{60 \times 60}\)
\(K=1.24 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
When \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) of ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) melts to water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the resulting change in its entropy, taking latent heat of ice to be \(80 \mathrm{cal} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), is [CBSE AIPMT 2011]
(c)
Change in entropy is given by \(\Delta S=\frac{m l}{T}=\frac{1000 \times 80}{273}=293 \mathrm{cal} \mathrm{K}^{-1}\)
A cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends conducts an amount of heat \(Q\) in time \(t\). The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. What is the amount of heat conducted by the new rod, when placed in thermal contact with the two reservoirs in time \(t\)? [CBSE AIPMT 2010]
(b) The rate of heat flow is given by
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{Q}{t}=\mathrm{K} . \text { A. } \frac{\Delta T}{\ell} \\
& \text { Area of Original rod } \mathrm{A}=\pi R^2 ; \\
& \text { Area of new rod } \mathrm{A}^{\prime}=\frac{\pi R^2}{4} \\
& \mathrm{~A}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{4}
\end{aligned}
\)
Volume of original rod will be equal to the volume of new rod.
So, \(\mathrm{A}^{\prime} \ell^{\prime}=\mathrm{A} \ell\)
or,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \pi R^2 \ell=\pi\left(\frac{R}{2}\right)^2 \ell^{\prime} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{\ell^{\prime}}{\ell}=\frac{R^2}{\left(\frac{R^2}{4}\right)}=4 \\

\(\therefore \quad Q^{\prime}=\frac{Q}{16}\)
The total radiant energy per unit area, normal to the direction of incidence, received at a distance \(R\) from the centre of a star of radius \(r\), whose outer surface radiates as a black body at a temperature \(T K\) is given by: [CBSE AIPMT 2010]
(where \(\sigma\) is Stefan’s constant)
By Stefan’s law,

For black body, e \(=1\)
Energy, \(\mathrm{E}=\sigma\left(4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2\right) \mathrm{T}^4\)
Intensity, \(\mathrm{I}=\frac{\sigma\left(4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~T}^4\right)}{4 \pi \mathrm{R}^2}=\frac{\sigma r^2 \mathrm{~T}^4}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
A black body at \(227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) radiates heat at the rate of \(7 \mathrm{cals} / \mathrm{cm}^2\). At a temperature of \(727^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the rate of heat radiated in the same units will be: [CBSE AIPMT 2009]
\(

& \mathrm{T}_1=500 \mathrm{~K} \\
& \mathrm{~T}_2=1000 \mathrm{~K} \\
& \frac{E_2}{E_1}=\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^4=\left(\frac{1000}{500}\right)^4=16 \\

The two ends of a rod of length \(L\) and \(a\) uniform cross-sectional area A are kept at two temperatures \(T_1\) and \(T_2\left(T_1>T_2\right)\). The rate of heat transfer, \(\frac{d Q}{d t}\) through the rod in a steady state is given by: [CBSE AIPMT 2009]
For a rod of length \(L\) and area of cross-section \(A\) whose faces are maintained at temperatures \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) respectively. Then in steady state the rate of heat flowing from one face to the other face in time \(t\) is given by

On a new scale of temperature (which is linear) and called the W scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are \(39^{\circ} \mathrm{W}\) and \(239^{\circ} \mathrm{W}\) respectively. What will be the temperature on the new scale, corresponding to a temperature of \(39^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) on the Celsius scale? [CBSE AIPMT 2008]
The relation between true scale and new scale of temperature is given by

\begin{aligned}
& \left(\frac{t-L F P}{U F P-L F P}\right)_{\text {true }}=\left(\frac{t-L F P}{U F P-L F P}\right)_{\text {faulty }} \\
& \frac{39^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}=\frac{t-39^{\circ} \mathrm{W}}{239^{\circ} \mathrm{W}-39^{\circ} \mathrm{W}} \\

An electric kettle takes \(4 \mathrm{~A}\) current at \(220 \mathrm{~V}\). How much time will it take to boil \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) of water from temperature \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)? The temperature of boiling water is \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). [CBSE AIPMT 2008]
(a) Heat required to raise the temperature of \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) water from \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is given by \(\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{ms} \Delta \theta=(1 \times 4200 \times 80) \mathrm{J}\)
Power of kettle \((P)=V I=(220 \times 4) \mathrm{W}\)
\(

A black body is at \(727^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). It emits energy at a rate which is proportional to [CBSE AIPMT 2007]
(a) According to Stefan’s law,
\(\mathrm{E} \propto T^4\)
\(\mathrm{E} \propto(t+273)^4 K\left[727^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=(727+273) K\right]\)
\(\mathrm{E} \propto(727+273)^4 K\)
\(\mathrm{E} \propto(1000)^4 K\)
Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius \(r\), radiating like a black body at a temperature \(t^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the power received by a unit surface, (normal to the incident rays) at a distance \(R\) from the centre of the sun is where \(\)\sigma\(\) is the Stefan’s constant. [CBSE AIPMT 2007]
(c) Power radiated by the sun at \(t^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) \(=\sigma(t+273)^4 4 \pi r^2\)
Power received by a unit surface
\(
=\frac{\sigma(t+273)^4 4 \pi r^2}{4 \pi R^2}=\frac{r^2 \sigma(t+273)^4}{R^2}

If the cold junction of a thermo-couple is kept at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and the hot junction is kept at \(\mathrm{T}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) then the relation between neutral temperature \(\left(T_n\right)\) and temperature of inversion \(\left(T_i\right)\) is [CBSE AIPMT 2007]
(d) Since \(T_n=\frac{T_i+T_c}{2}=\) Neutral temperature
\(
\begin{aligned}
T_n & =\frac{T_i+0}{2}=\frac{T_i}{2} \\
{\left[T_c\right.} & \left.=0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=\text { temperature of cold junction }\right]

A black body at \(1227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) emits radiations with maximum intensity at a wavelength of \(5000 \). If the temperature of the body is increased by \(1000^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the max imum intensity will be observed at [CBSE AIPMT 2006]
According to Wien’s law \(\lambda_m T=\) constant (say b)
where, \(\lambda_m\) is wavelength corresponding to maximum intensity of radiation and \(T\) is temperatures of the body in kelvin.
So for two different cases i.e. at two different temperature of body
\(
\therefore \quad \frac{\lambda_{m^{\prime}}^{\prime}}{\lambda_m}=\frac{T}{T^{\prime}}
\)
Given, \(\quad T=1227+273=1500 \mathrm{~K}\),
\(T^{\prime}=1227+1000+273\)
\(=2500 \mathrm{~K}\)
\(\lambda_m=5000\)
Hence, \(\lambda_m^{\prime}=\frac{1500}{2500} \times 5000=3000 \)
Which of the following circular rods (given radius \(r\) and length \(l\) ), each made of the same material and whose ends are maintained at the same temperature will conduct most heat? [CBSE AIPMT 2005]
(b) From given option
(i) \(r=2 r_0, l=2 l_0\)
\(\therefore R=\frac{2 \ell_0}{K \pi\left(2 r_0\right)^2}=\frac{\ell_0}{2 K \pi r_0^2}\)
(ii) \(r=2 r_0, l=l_0\)
\(
\therefore R=\frac{\ell_0}{K \pi\left(2 r_0\right)^2}=\frac{\ell_0}{4 K \pi r_0^2}
\)
(iii) \(r=r_0, l=2 l_0\)
\(
\therefore R=\frac{2 \ell_0}{K \pi r_0^2}=\frac{2 \ell_0}{K \pi r_0^2}
\)
(iv) \(r=r_0, l=l_0\)
\(
\therefore R=\frac{\ell_0}{K \pi r_0^2}=\frac{\ell_0}{K \pi r_0^2}
\)
It is clear that for option (b) resistance is minimum, hence, heat flow will be maximum.
(i) Rate of heat flow is directly proportional to area
(ii) inversely proportional to length.
\(\therefore\) Heat flow will be maximum when \(r\) is maximum and \(\ell\) is minimum.
Note: We know that \(Q=\frac{T_H-T_L}{R}\) Also, Thermal resistance \(R=\frac{\ell}{K A}=\frac{\ell}{K \pi r^2}\)
Heat flow will be maximum when thermal resistance is minimum.
The temperature of inversion of a thermocouple is \(620^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and the neutral temperature is \(300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What is the temperature of cold junction? [CBSE AIPMT 2005]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (c) } \theta_n=\frac{\theta_c+\theta_i}{2} \\
& \therefore \theta_c=2 \theta_n-\theta_i=2(300)-620=-20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
\end{aligned}
\)
Alternate
As we know the temperature of inversion is higher than the neutral temperature by the same amount as the neutral temperature is higher than the temperature of cold junction.
Hence,
\(t_n-t_0=t_i-t_n \Rightarrow t_0=2 t_n-t_i\)
Given \(t_i=620^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, t_n=300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Hence, \(t_0=\) temperature of cold junction
\(2 \times 300-620=600-620=-20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
If \(\lambda_m\) denotes the wavelength at which the radiative emission from a black body at a temperature \(T K\) is maximum, then [CBSE AIPMT 2004]
(a) From Wein’s displacement law

& \lambda_m T=\text { constant } \\
& \Rightarrow \lambda_m \propto T^{-1}

\)
We consider the radiation emitted by the human body. Which of the following statements is true? [CBSE AIPMT 2003]
The heat radiation emitted by the human body is the infrared radiation. Their wavelength is of the order of \(7.9 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) to \(10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\) which is of course the range of infrared region.
Note:
Not only the human body, but everything emits radiation. But the wavelength of this radiation depends on temperature.
The wavelength actually comes from the frequency of atom vibrations. If atom is hot it moves faster and generates higher frequencies of electromagnetic waves (shorter wavelength).
All atoms in your body have the temperature of your body and emit wavelength in your body frequency. All atoms outside your body also emit wavelength of its temperature. For human body, the wavelength lies in infrared region.
Consider a compound slab consisting of two different materials having equal thicknesses and thermal conductivities \(\)K\(\) and \(\)2 K\(\), respectively. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the slab is [CBSE AIPMT 2003]
(a) In series, equivalent thermal conductivity
\(
\begin{aligned}
& K_{\text {eq }}=\frac{2 K_1 K_2}{K_1+K_2} \\
& \text { or, } K_{\text {eq }}=\frac{2 \times K \times 2 K}{K+2 K}=\frac{4}{3} K
\end{aligned}
\)
Note:
In electricity equivalent resistance in series grouping \(R_s=R_1+R_2+R_3 \ldots . .+R_n\)
In heat-thermal resistance in series \(R_s=R_1+R_2+\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& R_3 \ldots . .+R_n \\
& \frac{\ell_1+\ell_2+\ldots . \ell_n}{K s}=\frac{\ell_1}{K_1 A}+\frac{\ell_2}{K_2 A}+\ldots . .+\frac{\ell_n}{K_n A}
\end{aligned}

For a black body at temperature \(727^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), its radiating power is \(60 \mathrm{~W}\) and temperature of surrounding is \(227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). If the temperature of the black body is changed to \(1227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), then its radiating power will be [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
Boltzmann corrected Stefan’s law and stated that the amount of radiations emitted by the body, not only depends upon the temperature of the body but also on the temperature of the surrounding. The radiated power by the body is given by
\(
P=\sigma\left(T^4-T_0^4\right) \quad \text {…(i) }
\)
where \(T_0\) is the absolute temperature of the surrounding and \(T\) is the temperature of body.
So for two different cases ratio of radiation power is given by
\(
\therefore \quad \frac{P_2}{P_1}=\left(\frac{T_2{ }^4-T_0{ }^4}{T_1{ }^4-T_0{ }^4}\right) \dots(ii)
\)
Here, \(P_1=60 \mathrm{~W}, T_1=727^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=1000 \mathrm{~K}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& T_0=227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=500 \mathrm{~K} \\
& T_2=1227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=1500 \mathrm{~K}
\end{aligned}
\)
Substituting in Eq. (ii), we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
P_2 & =\frac{(1500)^4-(500)^4}{(1000)^4-(500)^4} \times 60 \\
& =\frac{(500)^4}{(500)^4} \times\left[\frac{3^4-1}{2^4-1}\right] \times 60 \\
& =\frac{80}{15} \times 60=320 \mathrm{~W}

\)
Two rods of thermal conductivities \(K_1\) and \(K_2\), crosssections \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) and specific heats \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) are of equal lengths. The temperatures of two ends of each rod are \(T_1\) and \(T_2\). The rate of flow of heat at the steady state will be equal if [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
(b) Rate of heat flow for one rod \(=\frac{K_1 A_1\left(T_1-T_2\right)}{d}(d \rightarrow\) Length \()\) Rate of heat flow for other rod \(=\frac{K_2 A_2\left(T_1-T_2\right)}{d}\)
In steady state, \(\frac{K_1 A_1\left(T_1-T_2\right)}{d}\) \(=\frac{K_2 A_2\left(T_1-T_2\right)}{d} \Rightarrow K_1 A_1=K_2 A_2\)
Wien’s law is concerned with [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
(d) According to Wein’s displacement law, the product of wavelength belonging to maximum intensity and temperature is constant i.e., \(\lambda_m T=\) constant.
Radiation from which of the following sources, approximates black body radiation best? [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
Materials like black velvet or lamp black come close to ideal black bodies, but the best practical realization of an ideal black body is a small hole leading into a cavity maintained at constant temperature as this absorbs \(98 \%\) of the radiation incident on them. Cavity approxi- mating an ideal black body is shown in the figure. Radiation entering the cavity has little chance of leaving before it is completely absorbed.
A black body has maximum wavelength \(\lambda_m\) at temperature \(2000 \mathrm{~K}\). Its corresponding wavelength at temperature \(3000 \mathrm{~K}\) will be[CBSE AIPMT 2001]
Wien’s displacement law is given by
\(\begin{aligned} \lambda_m T & =\text { constant } \\ \lambda_m & =\text { maximum wavelength radiation } \\ T & =\text { temperature of the body }\end{aligned}\)
So for two different cases, i.e. at two different temperatures
\(
\text { or } \quad \begin{aligned}
\lambda_1 T_1 & =\lambda_2 T_2 \\
\lambda_2 & =\lambda_1\left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)
\end{aligned}
\)
Given, \(T_1=2000 \mathrm{~K}, T_2=3000 \mathrm{~K}, \lambda_1=\lambda\)
\(
\therefore \quad \lambda_2=\lambda \times \frac{2000}{3000}=\frac{2}{3} \lambda
\)
A cylindrical rod having temperature \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) at its end. The rate of flow of heat is \(Q_1 \mathrm{cal} /\) sec. If all the linear dimensions are doubled keeping the temperature constant, then the rate of flow of heat \(Q_2\) will be [CBSE AIPMT 2001]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Rate of heat flow }\left(\frac{Q}{t}\right)=\frac{k \pi r^2\left(\theta_1-\theta_2\right)}{L} \propto \frac{r^2}{L} \\
& \therefore \frac{Q_1}{Q_2}=\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2\left(\frac{l_2}{l_1}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \times\left(\frac{2}{1}\right)=\frac{1}{2} \\
& \Rightarrow Q_2=2 Q_1 .
\end{aligned}
\)
The presence of gravitational field is required for the heat transfer by [CBSE AIPMT 2000]
(c) Natural convection
In convection, the temperature gradient exists in the vertical direction and not in the horizontal direction. So, up and down movement of particles takes place which depends on the weight or gravity.
If \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of steam is mixed with \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of ice, then the resultant temperature of the mixture is [CBSE AIPMT 1999]
Heat required by \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to melt into \(\lg\) water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\),
\(
\begin{aligned}
Q_1 & =m L(L=\text { latent heat of fusion }) \\
& =1 \times 80=80 \mathrm{cal} \quad(L=80 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g})
\end{aligned}
\)
Heat required by \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to boil at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\),
\(
\begin{aligned}
Q_2= & m c \Delta \theta \\
& \quad(c=\text { specific heat of water }) \\
& =1 \times 1(100-0) \quad\left(c=1 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right) \\
& =100 \mathrm{cal}
\end{aligned}
\)
Thus, total heat required by \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of ice to reach a temperature of \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\),
\(
Q=Q_1+Q_2=80+100=180 \mathrm{cal}
\)
Heat available with \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of steam to condense into \(\mathrm{lg}\) of water at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), \(Q^{\prime}=m L^{\prime}\left(L^{\prime}=\right.\) latent heat of
vaporisation)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& =1 \times 536 \mathrm{cal} \quad\left(L^{\prime}=536 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}\right) \\
& =536 \mathrm{cal}
\end{aligned}
\)
Obviously, the whole steam will not be condensed and ice will attain temperature of \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Thus, the temperature of mixture is \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
The radiant energy from the sun, incident normally at the surface of earth is \(20 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~min}\). What would have been the radiant energy, incident normally on the earth, if the sun had a temperature, twice of the present one? [CBSE AIPMT 1998]
Apply Stefan’s law
According to Stefan’s law, the rate at which an object radiates energy is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature, i.e.
\(E=\sigma T^4\) or \(E \propto T^4\) ( \(\sigma=\) Stefan’s constant)
Given, \(T_1=T, T_2=2 T, E_1=20 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~min}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \frac{20}{E_2}=\left(\frac{T}{2 T}\right)^4 \text { or } \frac{20}{E_2}=\frac{1}{16} \\
& \therefore \quad E_2=20 \times 16=320 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~min}
\end{aligned}
\)
A black body is at temperature of \(500 \mathrm{~K}\). It emits energy at rate which is proportional to [CBSE AIPMT 1997]
According to Stefan’s Law \(E=\sigma e A T^4\) \(E \propto T^4 ;\) so, \(E \propto(500)^4\)
A beaker full of hot water is kept in a room. If it cools from \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in \(t_1\) minutes, from \(75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in \(t_2\) minutes and from \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(65^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in \(t_3\) minutes, then [CBSE AIPMT 1995]
(c) Let \(\theta_0\) be the temperature of the surrounding. Then
\(
\frac{80-75}{t_1}=k\left(\frac{80+75}{2}-\theta_0\right)
\)
or, \(\frac{5}{t_1}=k\left(77.5-\theta_0\right)\)
or, \(\quad t_1=\frac{5}{k\left(77.5-\theta_0\right)} \dots(1)\)
Similarly, \(t_2=\frac{5}{k\left(72.5-\theta_0\right)} \dots(2)\)
and \(t_3=\frac{5}{k\left(67.5-\theta_0\right)} \dots(3)\)
From (1), (2) \& (3), it is obvious that \(t_1<t_2<t_3\)
A body cools from \(50.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(48^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in \(5 \mathrm{~s}\). How long will it take to cool from \(40.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(39^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)? Assume the temperature of surroundings to be \(30.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and Newton’s law of cooling to be valid. [CBSE AIPMT 1994]
(b) Rate of cooling \(\propto\) temperature difference between system and surrounding.
As the temperature difference is halved, so the rate of cooling will also be halved.
So time taken will be doubled
\(
t=2 \times 5 \mathrm{sec} .=10 \mathrm{sec} \text {. }
\)
If the temperature of the sun is doubled, the rate of energy received on earth will be increased by a factor of [CBSE AIPMT 1993]
According to Stefan-Boltzmann law, amount of heat energy \((E)\) radiated per second by unit area of a body is directly proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature (T) of the body i.e. \(E \propto T^4\) or \(E=\sigma T^4\)
If \(T\) is doubled, \(E\) becomes \((2)^4\) times (i.e. 16 times).
Mercury thermometer can be used to measure temperature upto [CBSE AIPMT 1992]
(c) Mercury thermometer is based on the principle of change of volume with rise of temperature and can measure temperatures ranging from \(-30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(357^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
A Centigrade and a Fahrenheit thermometer are dipped in boiling water. The water temperature is lowered until the Fahrenheit thermometer registers \(140^{\circ}\). What is the fall in temperature as registered by the Centigrade thermometer? [CBSE AIPMT 1990]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (c) Using } \frac{\mathrm{F}-32}{180}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{100} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{140-32}{180}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{100} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{C}=60
\end{aligned}
\)
Temperature of boiling water \(=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
We get, fall in temperature \(=100-60=40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Thermal capacity of \(40 \mathrm{~g}\) of aluminium \((s=0.2\) \(\mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g} \mathrm{K})\) is [CBSE AIPMT 1990]
(d) Thermal capacity \(=\mathrm{ms}=40 \times 0.2=8 \mathrm{cal} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) \(=4.2 \times 8 \mathrm{~J}=33.6\) joules \(/{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
\(10 \mathrm{~g}\) of ice cubes at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) are released in a tumbler (water equivalent \(55 \mathrm{~g}\) ) at \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Assuming that negligible heat is taken from the surroundings, the temperature of water in the tumbler becomes nearly \((L=80 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g})\) [CBSE AIPMT 1988]
Let \(\theta\) be the temperature when thermal equilibrium has reached.

Two containers \(A\) and \(B\) are partly filled with water and closed. The volume of \(A\) is twice that of \(B\) and it contains half the amount of water in \(B\). If both are at the same temperature, the water vapour in the containers will have pressure in the ratio of [CBSE AIPMT 1988]
(b)
Vapour pressure of a substance is independent of amount of substance. It depends only on temperature. So they have ratio of \(1: 1\).
The temperature of a gas is \(-50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). To what temperature the gas should be heated so that the rms speed is increased by 3 times? [NEET 2023]

So, final rms speed \(=v+3 v=4 v\)
