Question
Define heat conduction and coefficient of thermal conductivity.
✓
Answer
Heat conduction : The process of energy transfer from one part of a solid to another at lower temperature without actual movement of molecules in called heat conduction.
Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity : The flow of heat energy per second from opposites faces of unit positive when the opposite faces are at a temperature difference of one $\text K$ or $1^{\circ}\text C $ at a unit distance is called coefficient of thermal conductivity.

A monkey climbs up a slippery pole for 3 seconds and subsequently slips for 3 seconds. Its velocity at time t is given by v(t) = 2t(3 - t); 0 < t < 3 and v(t) = -(t - 3)(6 - t) for 3 < t < 6s in m/s. It repeats this cycle till it reaches the height of 20m.

You have learnt that a travelling wave in one dimension is represented by a function y = f(x, t) where x and t must appear in the combination x – v t or x + v t, i.e. y = f (x ± v t). Is the converse true? Examine if the following functions for y can possibly represent a travelling wave:
- (x – vt)2
- log[(x + vt)/x0]
- 1/(x + vt)
