Heat is supplied to a certain homogenous sample of matter, at a uniform rate. Its temperature is plotted against times as shown.

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn?
Its specific heat capacity is greater in the solid state that in the liquid state.
Its specific heat capacity is greater in the liquid state that the solid state.
Its latent heat of vaporization is greater than its latent heat of fusion.
Its latent heat vaporization is smaller than its latent heat of fusion.


Important Questions on Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
Refer to the plot of temperature versus time (Figure) showing the changes in the state of ice on heating (not to scale). Which of the following is correct?


Two metal plates and made of same material are placed on a table as shown in the figure. If the plates are heated uniformly, the gaps indicated by and in the figure,


A bolt is passed through a pipe and a nut is just tightened. Coefficients of linear expansion for bolt and pipe material are and respectively. If the assembly is heated then:
