Which colour absorbs more heat?
AnswerThe more light the object absorbs, the more heat absorbed since light is energy. If you consider it a color, black absorbs the most heat. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and reflects none.
Objects that are white, on the other hand, reflect all wavelengths of light and therefore absorb the least heat.

Ventilators are provided at the top of a room:
- A
To bring oxygen for breathing.
- B
So that sunlight may enter the room.
- ✓
To maintain convectional currents to keep the air fresh in the room.
- D
To provide an outlet for carbon dioxide.
AnswerCorrect option: C. To maintain convectional currents to keep the air fresh in the room.
Hotter air has lower density in compare to cold air. The air we exhale is relatively hotter than the air present in the room so that hotter air moves upwards and normal air in the room seat downward. this process happens continuously, and at the top level in the room, hot air gets collected. To exhaust that air from the room we provide ventilators at the top. Ventilators also help to inter fresh air inside the room. The process of flow of air is known as conventional current.

Paheli Wants To Measure The Body Temperature Of Boojho. She Got $36.4$ Degree Celsius, $37.4$ Degree Celsius And $36.6$ Degree Celsius In First, Second And Third Times Respectively. What Is The Average Body Temperature Of Boojho$?$
- A
$37.8$ degree Celsius.
- B
$36.4$ degree Celsius.
- C
$37.4$ degree Celsius.
- ✓
$36.8$ degree Celsius.
AnswerCorrect option: D. $36.8$ degree Celsius.
$ (36.4 + 37.4 + 36.6)$ degree Celsius $= 110.4$ For getting average body tem we should divide: “Total temperature” by “Number of times” Therefore, $110.4/3 = 36.8$ degree Celsius.

One Litre Of Water At $30$ Degree Celsius Is Mixed With One Litre Of Water At $50$ Degree Celsius. The Temperature Of The Mixture Will Be:
AnswerCorrect option: D. Between $30$ degree Celsius and $50 $ degree Celsius.
The mixture will have temperature in between $30$ degree Celsius and $50$ degree Celsius. They want to come on the same temperature. As one is released his temperature and other one is absorbed the temperature which is released. Therefore, we can say heat absorbed is equal to heat released. As heat is never been destroyed. Since, the hot water $($at $50$ degree Celsius$)$ will try to lose its heat to the cold water $($at $30$ degree Celsius$).$

Paheli Wants To Measure The Body Temperature Of Boojho. She Got $36.4$ Degree Celsius, $37.4$ Degree Celsius And $36.6$ Degree Celsius In First, Second And Third Times Respectively. What Is The Average Body Temperature Of Boojho?
- A
$37.8$ degree Celsius.
- B
$36.4$ degree Celsius.
- C
$37.4$ degree Celsius.
- ✓
$36.8$ degree Celsius.
AnswerCorrect option: D. $36.8$ degree Celsius.
$(36.4 + 37.4 + 36.6)$ degree Celsius $= 110.4$ For getting average body tem we should divide: “Total temperature” by “Number of times” Therefore, $110.4/3 = 36.8$ degree Celsius.

When a body has the same temperature as that of its surroundings :
- A
- ✓
It radiates same quantity of heat as it receives from the surroundings
- C
It radiates less quantity of heat as it receives from the surroundings
- D
It radiates more quantity of heat as it receives from the surroundings.
AnswerCorrect option: B. It radiates same quantity of heat as it receives from the surroundings
Since the body has the same temperature as that of surrounding, it is in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings.
So, there is no net exchange of heat.
So, amount of heat radiated $=$ amount of heat received from the surroundings.

Name a medium which is a good insulator of heat:
AnswerTrapped (still) air is good insulator.
Thermal conductivity of air is small as compared to solid and liquid. Eg- glass conducts $30$ times more power per unit distance per unit temperature than air.
The less dense the material, the less thermal conductivity. And gas (air) is least dense than solid and liquid.

The phenomenon involved in the formation of land and sea breeze is:
AnswerLand breezes and sea breezes arise because of differential heating between land and water surfaces. Moreover, the lower heat capacity of crustal materials often allows them to cool below the nearby water temperature.

In convection, heat is transferred:
AnswerConvective heat transfer occurs within a fluid itself and it is carried out by transfer of one fraction of the fluid to the remaining portion. The transfer of molecules occurs during convection. Since the movement of particles constitutes convection, it is the macro form of heat transfer. Also, convection is only possible in fluids where the particles can move easily and the rate of convective heat transfer depends on the rate of flow to a great extend.

Boojho Wants To Know That When A Cold Steel Spoon Is Dipped In A Cup Of Hot Milk. It Transfer Heat To Its Other End By The Process Of:
AnswerConduction occurs when two objects at different temperatures are in contact with each other. Heat flows from the warmer to the cooler object until they are both at the same temperature. Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules. This process continues until heat energy from the warmer object spreads throughout the cooler object, like the heat from the milk spreading throughout the metal spoon dipped in it. Hence, option $[A]$ is correct.
