Very short Answer Question.

  1. State the unit in which temperature is commonly measured.

Ans. There are three units which are commonly used to measure the temperature: Degree Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

  1. What is the usual temperature range of a laboratory thermometer?

Ans. A common laboratory thermometer can measure temperature from 10°C to 110°C.

This is called the range of a laboratory thermometer.

  1. What are the three methods of transfer of heat?

Ans. The three methods of transfer of heat are:

  • By conduction method of transfer of heat
  • By convection method of transfer of heat
  • By radiation method of transfer of heat
  1. When one end of an Iron rod is heated its other end also becomes hot soon. Name the process by which heat flows in the rod?

Ans. By conduction method.

  1. What is the other name of poor conductors of heat?

Ans. Bad conductors of heat or Insulators.

Ans. land breeze and sea breeze

  1. Which method of heat transfer does not require any medium?

 Ans. Radiation method of heat transfer does not require any medium

  1. A person sitting in front of a room heater feels hot. Name the process by which heat is transferred.

Ans. By convection method of heat transfer.
