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:
| 1. | Stefan's law | 2. | Wien's displacement law |
| 3. | Kirchhoff's law | 4. | Newton's law of cooling |
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?

| 3. | motor and bell only | 4. | lamp, bell, and motor |
| Assertion (A): | While measuring the thermal conductivity of liquid experimentally, the upper layer is kept hot and the lower layer is kept cold. |
| Reason (R): | This avoids the heating of liquid by convection. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
