Measure the temperature of the following:- Take (i) a beaker full of water, (ii) a beaker full of soil/sand and (iii) a closed bottle containing a thermometer. Keep them in bright sunlight for three hours. Now measure the temperature of all 3 vessels. Also, take the temperature reading in shade at the same time. Is the temperature of air in the closed glass vessel/bottle the same as the temperature taken in open air? (i) What do you think is the reason for this? (ii) Do we ever come across this phenomenon in daily life?
