A number of tiny drops of water all of the same radius r cm combine to form a single drop of radius R cm. The rise in temperature of water is given by (if `sigma` = S.T. specific heat= 1 cal/g) :

A

`(sigma)/J(1/r-1/R)`

B

`(3sigma)/J(1/r-1/R)`

C

`(3sigma)/J(1/(r^(2))-1/(R^(2)))`

D

`(sigma)/J(1/(r^(2))-1/(R^(2)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Here Energy released =`4pi(nr^(2)-R^(2)).sigma`
`therefore` Heat produced=`W/J=(4sigmapi)/J(nr^(2)-R^(2))`
Heat produced in drop=`4/3piR^(3)xx1xxtheta`
`therefore(4sigmapi)/J(nr^(2)-R^(2))=4/3piR^(3)theta`
or `theta=(3sigma)/J(1/r-1/R)`
`therefore` Correct choice is (b).

A cylinder of radius 12 cm contains water to a depth of 20 cm. When a spherical iron ball is dropped in to the cylinder, the level of water is raised by 6.75 cm. Find the radius of the ball. [pi = (22)/(7)]

A solid cylinder of radius R made of a material of thermal conductivity K_(1) is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius R and outer radius 2R made of material of thermal conductivity K_(2) . The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. Then there is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is

(a) A point object is placed in front of a double convex lens ( of refractive index n = n_(2) // n_(1) with respect to air ) with its spherical faces of radii of curvature R_(1) and R_(2) . Show the path of rays due to refraction at first and subsequently at the second surface to obtain the formation of the real image of the object. Hence obtain the lens-maker's formula for a thin lens. A double convex lens having both faces of the same radius of curvature has refractive index 1.55. Find out the radius of curvature of the lens required to get the focal length of 20cm.

Atoms of eight elements A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H have the same number of electronic shells but different in their outermost shells. It was found that elements A and G combine to form an ionic compound which can also be extracted from sea water. Oxides of the elements A and B are basic in nature while those of E and F are acidic. The oxide of elements D is almost neutral. Answer the following questions based on the information given here in : (i) To which group or period of the periodic table do the listed elements belong ? (ii) Which one of the eight elements is likely to be a noble gas? (iii) Which one of the eight elements would have the largest atomic radius ? (iv) Which two elements amongst these are likely to be the non-metals? (v) Which one of these eight elements is likely to be a semi-metal or metalloid ?
