Ch4 – HEAT
NOTEBOOK WORK
Q1. Define the following:
a. Heat- Heat is a form of energy which can cause hotness to a body.
b. Temperature- The degree of hotness of a body is called its temperature. It is measured by a
thermometer.
c. Thermometer- Thermometer is a device used for measuring the temperature of a body /objects.
Q2. What are the effects of heat?
1. Change in temperature
2. Change in shape/size
3. Change in state of matter
4. Change in colour
5. Change in properties like solubility, chemical property etc.
Q3. Why is mercury used as thermometric liquid?
1. It is the only metal which is liquid at room temperature.
2. It is opaque and shiny and can be seen very easily.
3. It readily expands on heating.
Q4. What precautions are taken while using clinical thermometer?

Q5 :- Give differences between clinical and Laboratory thermometer.
Clinical Thermometer Laboratory Thermometer
1. Clinical thermometer is scaled from 35°C to 1. Laboratory thermometer is generally scaled
42°C or from 94°F to 108°F. from -10°C to 110°C.

3. It is used for taking the body temperature. 3. It is used to take temperature in laboratory.
Q6 :- What precautions are taken while using laboratory thermometer?
Q7 Conversion numerical:
i. CONVERT 327 K into o C
0C= K-273
0C =327K-273
=54 0C
ii. CONVERT 15o C to KELVIN
K = 0C +273
= 15+ 273
= 288 K
iii. CONVERT 31o C to KELVIN
K = 0C +273
= 31+ 273
= 304 K
iv. CONVERT 258 K TO OC
0C= K-273
0C =258 K-273
=-15 0C
v. CONVERT 3OOo C to KELVIN
2
K = 0C +273
= 3OO+ 273
= 573 K
Q8 What are the different modes of
transfer of heat?
*Conduction
*Convection
*Radiation

Q9 What is conduction? How does it take place?
The process by which heat is transferred from hotter end of an object to the colder one without the actual
movement of molecules/ particles is called conduction.
Conduction takes place in solids where molecules start vibrating after absorbing heat. In turn, they transfer
heat energy to other molecules.
Q10 What are good and bad conductors of heat? Give examples.
The materials which allow heat to pass through them easily are conductors of heat.
For example- aluminum, iron and copper etc.
The materials which do not allow heat to pass through them easily are poor/bad conductors of heat
#Poor conductors are known as insulators.
For example- plastic, wood, water, air etc.
Q11 What is convection? How does it take place?
The process by which heat is transferred from hotter parts of
a liquid or gas to its colder part by the actual movement of
particles or molecules is called convection.
Convection takes place in liquids and gases which have
intermolecular weak intermolecular force as a result when
the heat energy is supplied the molecule becomes hot and
light does they leave the space and rise up the cold molecules
from the above occupy the empty space.

Q12 What is radiation? How does the sun's heat reach earth?
The process by which heat is transferred from hot body to cold body in the form of heat rays with or
without the medium is called radiation.
The sun's heat reaches us by the process of radiation as it does not require any medium there is almost
vacuum in the space.

Q13 Explain the formation of sea breeze. Draw diagram.
During the day the land gets heated faster than the water.
The air over the land becomes hotter and rises up.
The cooler air from the sea rushes towards the land to take its
place.
The warm air from the land moves towards the sea to complete
the cycle.
The air from the sea is called the sea breeze.
Q14 Explain the formation of land breeze draw diagram.
At night, water cools down more slowly than the land.
The air above the water is still warm and rises up.
The cool air from the land moves towards the sea.
This air from land to sea is called land breeze.
