To solve the question "Still air is an ........ of heat," we need to determine whether still air acts as a conductor or an insulator of heat. Let's break down the reasoning step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Conductor of Heat**: A material that allows heat to pass through it easily. - **Insulator of Heat**: A material that does not allow heat to pass through it easily. ...

A : The propagation of sound in air should be an isothermal process . R : As air is bad conductor of heat , its temperature does not change by compression or expansion.

Assertion : Woollen clothes keep the body warm in winter Reason : Air is a bad conductor of heat.

Assertion : The basic of Laplace correction was that, exchange of heat between the region of compression and rarefaction in air is not possible. Reason : Air is a bad conductor of heat and velocity of soundin air is large.

Thermal conductivity of air is less than that of felt but felt is a better heat insulator in comparison to air. Why ?

A railroad train is travelling at 30.0 m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the train whistle is 262 Hz. Speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.

A train is moving at 30 m/s in still air. The frequency of the locomotive whistle is 500 Hz and the speed of sound is 345 m/s. The apparent wavelengths of sound in front of and behind the locomotive are respectively :-

''Air is a bad conductor of heat, but still we do not feel warm without clothes''. Why?
