On heating a liquid of coefficient of cubical expansion $\gamma $ in a container having coefficient of linear expansion $\gamma /3,$ the level of liquid in the container will
Fall
Rise
Remain unchanged
It is difficult to say
The temperature of a body on Kelvin scale is found to be $X\;K$. When it is measured by a Fahrenheit thermometer, it is found to be ${X^0}F$. Then $X$ is
Explain why :
$(a)$ a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter
$(b)$ a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day
$(c)$ an optical pyrometer (for measuring high temperatures) calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too low a value for the temperature of a red hot iron piece in the open, but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same piece is in the furnace
$(d)$ the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold
$(e)$ heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of hot water
$50\,g$ of copper is heated to increase is temperature by $10\,^oC$. If the same quantity of heat is given to $10\,g$ of water, the rise in its temperature is ........ $^oC$ (Specific heat of copper $= 420\,J-kg^{-1}\,^oC^{-1}$ )
A block of ice at $-10\,^oC$ is slowly heated and converted to steam at $100\,^oC.$ Which of the following curves represent the phenomenon qualitatively ?
A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0\,^oC$. The thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the pendulum is $\alpha $. If the temperature rises to $t\,^oC$, then the clock loses per day by (in second)
