Two conducting slabs of heat conductivity \(K_{1} ~\text{and}~K_{2}\) are joined as shown in figure. If the temperature at the ends of the slabs are \(\theta_{1}~\text{and}~\theta_{2} \ (\theta_{1}   >   \theta_{2} ),  \) then the final temperature \( \left(\theta\right)_{m} \) of the junction will be:

                

1.	\(\frac{K_{1} \theta_{1}   +   K_{2} \theta_{2}}{K_{1}   +   K_{2}}\)	2.	\(\frac{K_{1} \theta_{2}   +   K_{2} \theta_{1}}{K_{1}   +   K_{2}}\)
3.	\(\frac{K_{1} \theta_{2}   +   K_{2} \theta_{1}}{K_{1}   -   K_{2}}\)	4.	None

Which of the following is closest to an ideal black body?

A cylindrical rod has temperatures ${\mathrm{T}}_1$ $\mathrm{and}$ ${\mathrm{T}}_2$ at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is $Q_1$ cal/sec. If all the linear dimensions are doubled while keeping the temperature constant, then the rate of flow of heat $Q_2$ will be:

1. $4Q_1$

2. $2Q_1$

3. $\frac{Q_1}{4}$

4. $\frac{Q_1}{2}$

Consider a compound slab consisting of two different materials having equal thicknesses and thermal conductivities K and 2K, respectively. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the slab will be:

A slab of stone with an area \(0.36~\text{m}^{2}\)${\mathrm{}}^{}$ and thickness of \(0.1~\text{m}\) is exposed on the lower surface to steam at \(100​​^\circ\text{C}.\)$$ A block of ice at \(0^{\circ}\text{C}\) rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour \(4.8~\text{kg}\) of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of the slab will be:
(Given latent heat of fusion of ice \(= 3.36\times10^{5}~\text{JKg}^{-1}\)${\mathrm{}}^{}$)
1. \(1.29~\text{J/m/s/}^{\circ}\text{C}\)
2. \(2.05~\text{J/m/s/}^{\circ}\text{C}\)
3. \(1.02~\text{J/m/s/}^{\circ}\text{C}\)
4. \(1.24~\text{J/m/s/}^{\circ}\text{C}\)

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:

The diagram shows a bimetallic strip used as a thermostat in a circuit. Copper expands more than Invar for the same temperature rise.

What will be switched on when the bimetallic strip becomes hot?

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. \(0 . 43  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
3. \(0 . 54 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
4. \(0 . 61 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
