Why the reading on barometer decreases when we travel to higher altitude areas? | As alttude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less| dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by “thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.

Why mercury is preferred over water as a thermometric substance? Mercury is commonly use fluid rather than water because Mercury has high temperature. + Since it js @ metal, it has a stable coefficient of expansion hence it expands uniformly and noticeably for a slight change of temperature. + Mercury is a non-sticky viscous metal and hence it makes a clear meniscus, helpful in readings. and boiling points making it a liquid over a broad range of] Conceptual Questions: Be | |2. Water has large specific heat capacity.

Why does temperature of liquids not change when heated at their boiling point? | Temperature of liquids does not change when heated at their boiling point due to latent heat of vaporizatior Once the point is reached the heat supplied is used by the molecules of the liquid to| Overcome inter-molecular forces and escape as gas molecules from the surface of the liquid.| 4. Why metallic handle of a door is colder than the wood of the same door when touched? | ‘The body that has high thermal conductivity will conduct heat faster.

Which type of clothes do the people of desert wear and why? People of desert wear clothing involves multiple layers of clothes and it usually covers most of the! skin. Having multiple layers means that they are trapping air between the layers of clothes and that] | acts as an insulation that helps to keep the heat out. The layer closest to the body also helps keep’ ‘sweat near the body and slows its evaporation which actually helps the natural cooling method to| be more efficient. o | 6. Why does temperature of sea shore cities remain moderate during most of the year? ~Oncens,.; does temperature of land areas vary more during winters and summers? Water has about four times higher heat capacity than land, i.e. it takes much mor increase the water temperature.

That's because cooling our body via Sweating relies on a principle of physics called “heat of vaporization." It takes energy to evaporate sweat of of our skin, and that energy is heat. As our excess body heat s used to convert beads of sweat into vapor, we start to cool down. =) ey Lecturer Physics ——— )/ Metiarnmad Samat | [{ Lecture Physics peyton ‘FoundationAum ce a Conceptual Questions: a strip, made up of copper and iron is used as automatic switch in| je one example. ‘of two thin strips of different metals such as brass and iron joined together. ‘ass expands more than iron.

Rollers are used at the end: el bridges because bridges made of steel girders expand during) | the day and contract during night. They will bend if their ends are fixed.

How does heat transfer occurs through the windows and vents of a room?

Why? | Two shirts are warmer than a single shirt of double thickness because when someone wear two| shirts @ layer of air gets trapped between the two shirts.
