8. How can we measure the temperature of our body? 9.What is the temperature of a normal
human body?
9. What is the use of the kink in clinical thermometer?
10.Name a thermometer which does not use mercury as one of it'scomponent?
11.Name the mode of heat transfer in which heat energy flows from one body to another
only if they are in contact with each other ?
12 .A cold steel spoon is dipped in a cup of hot milk. It transfers heat to its other end by the
process of ……………………..
13.The cold air blowing from the sea towards the land during the day is called ………………
14.The cold air blowing from the land towards the sea during night is called ………………..
15.Clothes of light coloursarebetter…................of heat than clothes of darkcolour.
16.What is the value of the normal body temperature ?
17.Inplacesofhotclimate,itisadvisedthattheouterwallsofhousesshouldbepaintedwhite.Expla
in.
18.Explain why wearing more layers of clothing during winter keeps us warmer than
wearing just one thick piece ofcloth?
19.How does the heat travel in air? In which direction does the smokego?
20.Why a clinical thermometer should not be washed in hot water ?
21. Write an activity to show the process of convection in liquids.
22. In a mercury thermometer, the level of mercury rises when its bulb comes in contact
with a hot object. What is the reason for this rise in the level of mercury?
23. n the arrangements A and 8 shown in figure, pins P and Q are fixed to a metal loop and
an iron rod with the help of wax. In which case are both the pins likely to fall at different
times? Explain.
24. You may have noticed that a few sharp jerks are given to clinical thermometer before
using it. Why is it done so?
25. Why is it advised not to hold the thermometer by its bulb while reading it?
26. At a camp site there are tents of two shades – one made with black fabric and the other
with white fabric. Which one will you prefer for resting on a hot summer afternoon? Give
reason for your choice. Would you like to prefer the same tent during winter?
27. For setting curd, a small amount of curd is added to warm milk. The microbes present
in the curd help in setting if the temperature of the mixture remains approximately
between 35°C to 40°C. At places, where room temperature remains much below the range,
setting of curd becomes difficult. Suggest a way to set curd in such a situation.
41.Why in places of hot climate it is advised that the outer walls of houses be painted
white.
42.Why wearing more layers of clothing during winter keeps us warmer than wearing
just one thick piece of clothing.
43.Why do we wear woollen clothes in winter ?
44.What kind of clothes will keep us comfortable in summer ?Why ?
45. Describe the construction of a clinicalthermometer.
46. What are conductors and insulators of heat? Giveexamples.
47. Write any three similarities between laboratory thermometer and the
clinicalthermometer.
48. What do you understand by clinical thermometer and laboratorythermometer?
49. differentiate between heat andtemperature
50. Suggest an activity to explain the term the process of convection taking place in
liquids.
51. Explain the process of conduction with the help of activity and neat labeled diagram
52. What are the precautions to be take while reading a clinicalthermometer?
53. Write short notes on:-
(a) Seabreeze . (b) Landbreeze.
54. What precautions will you observe while using a clinical thermometer ?
55. write the differences between a clinical thermometer and a laboratory
thermometer ?
