1. Gas thermometers are more sensitive than liquid thermometers as the gases

2. Co-efficient of reflection, coefficient of absorption and coefficient transmission are related as

3. The top of lake is frozen as the atmospheric temperature is -10°C. The temperature at the bottom of the lake is most likely to be

4. A bimetallic strip is made of aluminium and steel (α_Al > α_steel). On heating, the strip will

5. The temperature determines the direction of net change of:

6. Thermal equilibrium implies equality of:

7. The earth receives at its surface radiation from the sun at the rate of 1400 W/m². the distance of the centre of the sun from the surface of the earth is 1.5 1011 m and the radius of the sun is 7.0 108 m. treating sun as a black body, it follows from the above data that its surface temperature is,

8. Two bars of copper having same length but an equal diameter are heated to the same temperature. The change in length will be:
