Case Study:

In a science class, four friends—Ravi, Neha, Arjun, and Priya—are assigned to explore different types of
thermometers. Ravi uses a clinical thermometer to check his body temperature after feeling a little feverish.
Neha uses a laboratory thermometer to measure the temperature of water in a flask for her experiment. Arjun
compares both thermometers to understand their differences, and Priya researches their everyday uses.
Together, they discover how these tools play important roles in both medicine and scientific experiments.

Based on above case study answer the following questions.

1. What is the normal human body temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit scale?
Answer: The normal human body temperature is 37°C (Celsius) or 98.6°F (Fahrenheit).

2. What is the temperature range of a clinical thermometer?


Answer: The temperature range of a clinical thermometer is 35°C to 42°C.

3. For what purposes are laboratory thermometers typically used?


Answer: Laboratory thermometers are typically used to measure temperatures in scientific experiments.

4. Which thermometer is used to measure room temperature?


Answer: A room thermometer or digital thermometer is used to measure room temperature.

Q.ASSERTION REASON QUESTIONS

1. Assertion: Woollen clothes trap air close to the body, helping to keep us warm in winter.

Reason: Wool fibers are good conductors of heat, preventing the loss of body heat.

Answer: Assertion is true but reason is false.

2.Assertion: A sea breeze occurs during the day when the land is warmer than the sea.

Reason: Warm air over the land rises, and cooler air from the sea replaces it, creating a sea breeze.

Answer: Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

3.Assertion: In solids, heat is transferred by conduction, which occurs due to the vibration of particles.

Reason: The particles in solids are loosely packed, allowing them to transfer energy more efficiently.

Answer: Assertion is true but reason is false.

4. Assertion: Radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat.

Reason: Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum.

Answer: Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

5.Assertion: A clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature, while a lab thermometer is used for
measuring the temperature of liquids.
Reason: Clinical thermometers have a narrow, constricted capillary tube that allows temperature readings to
stay stable for a longer time.

Answer: Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

6.Assertion: Heat transfer by conduction only happens in gases.

Reason: In conduction, particles vibrate and pass on their energy to neighboring particles, transferring heat
through direct contact.

Answer: Assertion is false, but reason is true.

7. Assertion: A land breeze occurs during the day when the land is warmer than the sea.

Reason: The air over the land is heated and rises, creating a low-pressure area that pulls cooler air from the sea.

Answer: Assertion is false, but reason is true.

8. Assertion: Convection occurs only in solids, not in liquids or gases.

Reason: Convection involves the movement of fluid particles from hot to cold regions, distributing heat.

Answer: Assertion is false, but reason is true.

Q. Diagram based

A B C

Here are few simple questions based on the diagrams of conduction, convection, and radiation:

1. Which mode of heat transfer is shown in Fig A?


Answer: Conduction

2. What is the difference between the modes of heat transfer shown in Fig B and Fig C?
Answer: Fig B (Convection): Heat is transferred through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
Fig C (Radiation): Heat is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves and does not require a
medium.

3. In Figure B, what happens to the fluid as it heats up?


Answer: The fluid expands, becomes less dense, and rises, while cooler fluid sinks, creating a convection
current.
4. Which of the following methods of heat transfer does not require matter (solid, liquid, or gas)?
Answer: c) Radiation

5. Which heat transfer method works in space (Conduction, Convection, or Radiation)?


Answer: Radiation
