4. Boiling point of water in kelvin scale.


Boiling point of water = 100 oC

K = C + 273.15
K = 100 + 273.15
K = 373.15
Therefore, boiling of water in kelvin scale is 373.15 K.

5. Freezing point of water in Celsius scale.


Freezing point of water in Celsius scale = 0 oC.

1. Why do you wear light-coloured clothes during summer?
Ans: We wear light colored clothes in summer because light colors reflect heat which helps
our body to keep cool.

2. What type of clothes will you wear during winter, cotton or woolen?

4. Good conductor of heat d maximum minimum thermometer
5. Average body temperature of a human e 373
being in Celsius scale

Ans: 1 – d, 2 – e, 3 – a, 4 – b, 5 – c

D. Answer the following questions briefly.


1. Define convection and explain it with a proper example.
Ans:
Heat transfer in which heat is carried from the hotter part of a substance to its colder part
by actual movement of hot particles is called convection.
Example: Heaters are installed at lower level in the room as hot air from the heater goes up
the room heating it and cold air sinks down. Thus, the room is heated by convection.

2. How do you determine the amount of heat present in a body by sense of touch? Is it a
reliable method? Explain your answer.
Ans:
Senses can only sense heat flow, your skin temperature and the conductivity are factors
in how something feels, not just the temperature of the object. Our body just isn’t
designed to determine objective temperatures. We can only tell how it feels, not what it
really is.

Sense of touch is not reliable method. we can explain this with the help of activity

Aim: To show that hot and cold is a relative concept.


Materials required: Three bowls labelled A, B and C, warm water, ice cubes, and water
(at room temperature).
Procedure:
Step 1- Take the bowls and pour warm water in bowl A, ice cubes in bowl B and water
which is
at room temperature in bowl C.
Step 2- Put your left hand in bowl A and your right hand in bowl B.
Step 3- Now take out your hands and simultaneously dip both your hands in bowl C.

Conclusion: When you dip both your hands in bowl C, you will feel that your left-hand feels
cold, while your right-hand feels warm. But actually, the water in bowl C is neither hot nor
cold. This proves that your body cannot determine whether an object is hot or cold only by
the sense of touch as hot and cold is a relative concept.

3. Define temperature and name the device used to measure it.


Ans:
Temperature is the measure of degree of hotness or coldness of a body. The device to
measure temperature is a thermometer.

4. Name the three modes of heat transfer based on the presence or absence of medium.
Ans:
Heat can be transferred in three different ways: conduction, convection and radiation.

5. Mention some uses of conductors in our daily lives.


Ans:
a. Cooking utensils are made of metals that are good conductors of heat, so that heat can get
transferred to the food easily.
b. Base of electric iron is made of metal as it is a good conductor of heat.
c. Mercury is used in thermometers as a thermometric liquid.
d. The head of soldering machine is made of copper to heat quickly.
E. Answer the following questions in detail.
1. What is a laboratory thermometer? What precautions should you take while measuring
temperature with it?
Ans:
Thermometer measures temperature, generally in the range of –10°C to 110°C.
It has a long stem with a red bulb that is filled with alcohol at the end. Alcohol is cheap and
less harmful than mercury.
Precautions that we should take while using laboratory thermometer. They are
It should be kept vertical without tilting.
It should be dipped in such a manner that the bulb should be entirely surrounded by the
substance of which the temperature is to be measured.
At the same time, bulb should not touch the surface of the container.

2. Explain the formation of sea breeze and land breeze.


Ans:
During day time, the land heats faster than the sea. Due to this, warm air currents from the
land flow to the sea and cool air currents flow from sea towards land, This movement of air
gives rise to breeze known as sea breeze.
During night time, the land cools faster than the sea. Due to this, warm air currents from sea
flow towards land and cool air currents from land flow towards sea, This movement of air
gives rise to breeze known as land breeze.
3. Give reason for the following:
a. Ice slabs are wrapped in thick jute cloth while transporting it.
Ans:
Ice slabs are covered with jute when transported because - There are spaces between
the jute fibers and the air trapped between these spaces makes it act as an insulator by
preventing the heat from outside from coming inside.
This slows down the melting of ice and makes sure that ice can be safely transported
without worrying about its melting.

b. We put warm water in a thermos flask.


Ans:
A thermos flask is a special type of bottle or flask which does not allow heat loss or heat
gain by the material stored in it. It keeps a hot substance hot and a cold substance cold for a
long time, when placed inside it.

4. Distinguish between heat and temperature.

Ans:
Heat Temperature
1. It is the internal energy of a body. 1. It is the degree of hotness or coldness of the
body.
2. Heat is measured in joule (J) and calorie 2. Temperature is measured in kelvin (K), degree
Celsius (oC) and degree Fahrenheit (oF).
5. Explain the mode of heat transfer in an iron rod.
Ans:
In solids, heat is transferred by the process of conduction. In this process, the transfer of
heat takes place through adjacent molecules. When one end of an iron rod is put over
flame then part which is nearer to the flame is heated first and heat is gradually
transferred to the other end of the rod.

1. Based on the hints given in the brackets, name the mode of transfer of heat.

2. Name of the different parts of the thermometer and determine the temperature
recorded.

Think and answer


On a winter night, while drinking tea Swara was irritated as her tea was cooling very fast.
What were the different modes of heat loss? How can she prevent it?

Choose the correct option.


1. Choose the correct comparison.
a. 100 oC > 210 oF c. 55 oF > 12 oC
b. 373 K < 10 C
o d. 100 oC > 273 K

2. Which of the following is not a unit of heat?


a. calorie c. kilocalorie
b. joule d. kelvin
3. Which of these units does not have a negative temperature scale?
a. joule c. Celsius
b. kelvin d. Fahrenheit

Explanation: In contrast to the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, the Kelvin scale has no
negative temperatures because the lowest possible temperature on the Kelvin scale is
absolute zero

4. Anuj was constructing a thermometer on his own. But he made an error by marking the
freezing point of water at 25 oC and the boiling point of water at 125 oC. Based on this scale,
the average body temperature of a human body is?
a. 55 oC c. 72 oC
b. 67 C
o d. 62 oC
Explanation: In the above question it is given that the starting point of the scale is 25 oC,
which means actual temperature will differ in number. We know that the average
temperature of human body is 37 oC,
5. Which of the following T-shirts will transmit more amount of heat?

Explanation: As a form of energy called electromagnetic radiation, light travels in


waves with some of its colors having longer wavelengths than others. The visible light
humans see as the color white consists of a rainbow of colors in the electromagnetic
spectrum that range from blue to red, with yellow, orange, green and multiple
variations sandwiched between them, as in a rainbow after a storm. Blue and violet
have shorter wavelengths and higher energy, and, at the opposite end of the spectrum,
red wavelengths are longer, but have lower energy.

6. Raj wanted to construct a house near the seashore which lies towards the north of the
house, but he was confused about the correct placement of windows. Which of the following
is the correct position for proper ventilation?
7. Identify the wrong option: (arrow indicates the flow of heat)

8. Pins are placed in a certain arrangement. In which of these arrangements will the pins fall
at the same time?

Ans:
9. Ayushi is holding a thermometer in four different positions A, B, C and D. She is noting the
temperature. Choose the correct temperature noted by her in different positions.

a. 45 oC c. 44 oC
b. 46 oC d. 75 oC

10. Three containers named A, B and C are made of the same material but painted with
different colours as shown below. They are filled with wax. All the three are kept in the Sun
for the same amount of time. Due to their heat, the wax starts melting. Inside which
container does the wax melt more. Choose the correct relation.
a. B>A>C c. B>C>A
b. B>A>C d. A>B>C
