Question 61.


____ is the device used to measure temperature.


  1.     Manometer
  2.     Thermometer
  3.     Ammeter
  4.     Stethoscope
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Thermometer
:
B
A thermometer is an instrument used for measuring temperature. Some of the common thermometers used are clinical, lab and digital thermometer.
A manometer is an instrument used to measure pressure differences. 
An ammeter is used to measure current.
A stethoscope is an acoustic medical device used for listening to the internal sounds of an animal or human body.
Question 62.


Which thermometer is used to measure the extreme temperatures of the day, as reported in a newspaper?


  1.     Clinical thermometer
  2.     Laboratory thermometer
  3.     Max-Min or Six's thermometer
  4.     Alcohol thermometer
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Max-Min or Six's thermometer
:
C
A Max-Min or Six's thermometer is used to measure the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day.
The Six's thermometer is a registering thermometer which can record the maximum and minimum temperatures reached  over a period of time, for example, 24 hours. It is used to record the extremes of temperature at a location.
Question 63.


A material which allows heat to easily pass through it is known as ___.


  1.     conductor
  2.     insulator
  3.     radiator
  4.     resistor
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> conductor
:
A

A conductor allows heat to pass through it whereas an insulator obstructs the passage of heat. A radiator is a substance which emits heat or light.


Question 64.


A wooden spoon is dipped in a cup of ice cream. Its other end _____.


  1.     becomes cold by the process of convection
  2.     becomes cold by the process of conduction
  3.     becomes cold by the process of radiation
  4.     does not become cold
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> does not become cold
:
D
The other end of wooden spoon does not become cold as wood is a poor conductor of heat and electricity and hence, it belongs to the category of insulators.
Question 65.


A reliable measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of a body is called its_________


  1.     mass
  2.     volume
  3.     temperature
  4.     potential energy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> temperature
:
C
Temperature is a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is proportional to the average kinetic energy of all the molecules present in an object. It is represented according to a comparative scale and is measured by a thermometer. 
Question 66.


Which of the following cools down faster?


  1.     Land
  2.     Water
  3.     Both cool down at the same rate
  4.     Sometimes land and sometimes water
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Land
:
A

Land cools down faster than water. As a result during night, the air above land becomes cooler than that above sea. So, a breeze blows from land to sea and we call that land-breeze.


Question 67.


The transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gaseous phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase is known as ___.


  1.     boiling
  2.     melting
  3.     sublimation
  4.     freezing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> sublimation
:
C

Sublimation is a process where a solid turns into a gas without going through a liquid stage. Solid carbon dioxide which is more commonly known as "dry ice" sublimates at room temperature.


Question 68.


The mode of heat transfer between the sun and earth is ____.


  1.     conduction
  2.     absorption
  3.     radiation
  4.     convection
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> radiation
:
C
Radiation is the mode of heat transfer between the earth and the sun. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the source and the object. The transfer of heat by radiation does not require any medium. It can take place whether a medium is present or not.
Question 69.


What is the temperature range of a human body? [1 MARK]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> radiation
:

The temperature of the human body does not generally go below 35C or above 42C.


Question 70.


What is conduction? How is conduction different from radiation? [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> radiation
:

Conduction: 1 Mark
Difference: 1 Mark
The process by which heat is transferred from hotter end to the colder end of an object is known as conduction. It takes place usually in solids.
Conduction requires a medium for the heat to be transferred. Radiation does not require any medium for the heat to be transferred.
