The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the demonstration of normal body temperature in a person with black bile, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Black Bile**: - Black bile is one of the four humours in ancient medical theories, which also include blood, phlegm, and yellow bile. It was believed to be associated with a melancholic temperament. 2. **Connection to Body Temperature**: - The question implies that the presence of black bile in a person is linked to their body temperature. In historical contexts, body temperature was often thought to reflect one's health and temperament. 3. **Good Humour Hypothesis**: - The good humour hypothesis suggests that the balance of these humours (including black bile) affects a person's health and mood. A person with an excess of black bile was thought to have a "cold" or "melancholic" personality. 4. **William Harvey's Contribution**: - William Harvey is known for his discovery of blood circulation. His work disapproved the simplistic connections made by the good humour hypothesis, showing that body temperature and health are not solely determined by the humours. 5. **Conclusion**: - The demonstration of normal body temperature in a person with black bile disapproves the good humour hypothesis. It indicates that health cannot be solely explained by the balance of humours, as demonstrated by Harvey's findings. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that the demonstration of normal body temperature in a person with black bile **disapproves the good humour hypothesis of health**. ---

Write down the body temperature of a healthy person.

In the figure, the distribution of energy density of the radiation emitted by a black body at a given temperature is shown. The possible temperature of the black body is

The rate of dissipation of heat by a black body at temperature T is Q . What will be the the rate of dissipation of heat by another body at temperature 2T and emissivity 0.25 ?

Assertion : A normal body can radiate energy more than a perfectly black body. Reason : A perfectly black body is always black in colour.

Assertion : For higher temperature, the peak emission wavelength of a black body shifts to lower wavelengths. Reason : Peak emission wavelength of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of temperature.

Assertion : For higher temperature, the peak emission wavelength of a black body shifts to lower wavelengths. Reason : Peak emission wavelength of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of temperature.

If lambda_(m) denotes the wavelength at which the radiative emission from a black body at a temperature T K is maximum, then

Calculate the temperature of the black body from given graph.

Let the wavelength at which the the spectral emissive power of a black body (at a temperature T) is maximum, be denoted by lamda_(max) as the temperature of the body is increased by 1K, lamda_(max) decreases by 1 percent. The temperature T of the black body is

In a dark room with ambient temperature T_(0) , a black body is kept at a temperature T . Keeping the temperature of the black body constant (at T ), sunrays are allowed to fall on the black body through a hole in the roof of the dark room. Assuming that there is no change in the ambient temperature of the room, which of the following statements (s) is/are correct ?
