The quantities of heat required to raise the temperature of two solid copper spheres of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) \((r_1=1.5~r_2)\) through \(1~\text{K}\) are in the ratio:

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a \(0.20~\text{kg}\) block of the metal at \(150^{\circ}\text{C}\) is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent of \(0.025~\text{kg}\)) containing \(150~\text{cm}^{3}\) of water at \(27^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The final temperature is \(40^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The specific heat of the metal will be: 
(the heat losses to the surroundings are negligible)
1. \(0 . 40  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
2. \(0 . 43  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)

4. \(0 . 61 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)

A piece of iron is heated in a flame. If it becomes dull red first, then becomes reddish yellow, and finally turns to white hot, the correct explanation for the above observation is possible by using:

Four rods of the same material with different radii \(r\) and the length \(l\) are used to connect two heat reservoirs at different temperatures. In which of the following cases is the heat conduction fastest?
1. \(r = \frac{1}{3}~\text{cm}, l = \frac{1}{9}~\text{cm}\)
2. \(r =3~\text{cm}, l =9~\text{cm}\)
3. \(r =4~\text{cm}, l =8~\text{cm}\)
4. \(r =1~\text{cm}, l =1~\text{cm}\)

The plots of intensity versus wavelength for three black bodies at temperatures \(T_1,T_2\) and \(T_3\) respectively are as shown. Their temperatures are such that:
           

Two rods (one semi-circular and the other straight) of the same material and of the same cross-sectional area are joined as shown in the figure. The points \(A\) and \(B\) are maintained at different temperatures. The ratio of the heat transferred through a cross-section of a semi-circular rod to the heat transferred through a cross-section of a straight rod at any given point in time will be:
                 
1. \(2:\pi\)
2. \(1:2\)
3. \(\pi:2\)
4. \(3:2\)

The temperature of a body falls from \(50^{\circ}\text{C}\)$\mathrm{}$ to \(40^{\circ}\text{C}\)$\mathrm{}$ in \(10\) minutes. If the temperature of the surroundings is \(20^{\circ}\text{C},\)$\mathrm{ t}$hen the temperature of the body after another \(10\) minutes will be:

The value of the coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is \(5\times10^{-4}\) K^-1. The fractional change in the density of glycerin for a temperature increase of \(40^\circ \mathrm{C}\) will be:

One kilogram of ice at \(0^\circ \text{C}\) is mixed with one kilogram of water at \(80^\circ \text{C}.\) The final temperature of the mixture will be: (Take: Specific heat of water = \(4200~\text{J kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1},\) latent heat of ice\(=336~\text{kJ kg}^{-1}\))

Hot coffee in a mug cools from \(90^{\circ}\text{C}\) to \(70^{\circ}\text{C}\) in \(4.8\) minutes. The room temperature is \(20^{\circ}\text{C}.\) Applying Newton's law of cooling, the time needed to cool it further by \(10^{\circ}\text{C}\) should be nearly:
