10-2.Transmission of Heat
easy

$Assertion :$ A brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.

$Reason :$ The thermal conductivity of brass is more than the thermal conductivity of wood.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

Solution

Brass is a metal and good conductor. On a cold day, when brass tumbler is touched heat transfers from our body to brass, since our body looses heat so the tumbler feels cold. On the other hand, transfer of heat from our body to wood is slow and less, hence wooden tray appears warm.
