APEEJAY SCHOOL PITAMPURA

Class XI (Thermal Properties of Matter)

1. Write the dimensions of coefficient of linear expansion.

2. Explain why a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day?
3. Explain why heating system based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a
building than those based on circulation of hot water.
4. When 0.15 kg of ice at 00 C mixed with 0.30 kg of water at 500 C in a container, the resulting
temperature is 6.70 C. Calculate the heat of fusion of ice.
(specific heat of water = 4186 J kg-1 K-1)
5. A copper block of mass 2.5 kg is heated in a furnace to a temperature of 5000 C and then
placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of heat that can melt?
(Specific heat of copper = 0.39 J g-1 K-1)
6. What is black body radiation. Draw the Curve showing variation of intensity versus
wavelength for a blackbody at two different temperatures T1 and T2.
7. Why water is used as a coolant in industries?
8. The wavelength of maximum solar emission is observed to be approximately 0.475μm. What
is the surface temperature of the sun (assumed as blackbody)? (weins constant =2.898 x 10-3
mK)
9. A hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is 4.24 cm at 27.0 0 C. What is
the change in the diameter of the hole when the sheet is heated at 227 0 C. Coefficient of
linear expansion of copper = 1.70 x 10-5 K
