The intensity of heat radiation by a point source measured by a thermopile placed at a distance is If the distance of thermopile is doubled then the intensity of radiation will be-


Important Questions on Thermal Properties of Matter

A thermally isolated vessel contains of water at . When the air above the water is pumped out, some water freezes and some evaporates at itself. Then the mass of the ice formed if no water is left in the vessel. Latent heat of vaporization of water at and latent heat of fusion of ice.

ice at is mixed with water at . Then final amount of water in the mixture would be;
(Given specific heat of ice , specific heat of water and latent heat of fusion of ice )

In an insulated vessel, of steam at and of ice at are mixed. Find the final temperature of the mixture.
Given, ,
and



Assertion: Gas thermometers are more sensitive than liquid thermometers.
Reason: Coefficient of thermal expansion of gases is more than liquid.

Assertion: Water is considered unsuitable for use in thermometers.
Reason: This is due to small specific heat and high thermal conductivity.
