Is the bulb of a thermoeter made of diathermic or adiabatic wall ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the bulb of a thermometer is made of diathermic or adiabatic walls, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Diathermic Walls**: These walls allow heat transfer but do not allow mass transfer. They are good conductors of heat. - **Adiabatic Walls**: These walls do not allow heat transfer or mass transfer. They are insulators. ### Step 2: Analyze the Function of a Thermometer - A thermometer is designed to measure temperature by allowing heat to flow from the substance being measured into the thermometer. This heat transfer is essential for the thermometer to provide an accurate reading. ...

Can the bulb of a thermometer be made of an adiabatic wall?

Determine the light pressure exerted on the walls of an electric bulb of power 100 W . The bulb is made in the form of a sphere of radius 5cm , its walls reflect 10 % of the incident light and the rest 90% of the light is transmitted. Assume that the entire power consumed by the bulb is converted into radiation and transmitted light does not exert any pressure.
