The graph $AB$ shown in figure is a plot of temperature of a body in degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit. Then
slope of line $AB$ is $9/5$
slope of line $AB$ is $5/9$
slope of line $AB$ is $1/9$
slope of line $AB$ is $3/9$
Two substances $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $m$ are heated at uniform rate of $6\,cal\,s^{-1}$ under similar conditions. A graph between temperature and time is shown in figure. Ratio of heat absorbed $H_A/H_B$ by them for complete fusion 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
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
Compared to a burn due to water at $100\,^oC,$ a burn due to steam at $100\,^oC$ is
Water is used to cool radiators of engines in car because
