HOT OR COLD
In our Day-To-Day life , we come across a number of objects.
SOME OF THEM ARE HOT AND SOME OF THEM ARE COLD.
TEA IS HOT AND ICE IS COLD.
USUALLY WE IDENTIFY. BUT WE CANT ALWAYS RELY ON OUR SENSE OF TOUCH TO DECIDE
WHETHER AN OBJECT IS HOT OR COLD. SOMETIMES IT MAY DECIEVE US.
THEN HOW DO WE FIND HOW HOT AN OBJECT IS?
A RELIABLE MEASURE OF THE HOTNESS OF AN OBJECT IS ITS TEMPERATURE.

MEASURING TEMPERATURE
TEMPERATURE IS MEASURED BY A DEVICE CALLED THERMOMETER.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THERMOMETER:
1.CLINICAL THERMOMETER
2.LABORATORY THERMOMETER
3.MAXIMUM-MINIMUM THERMOMETER
4.DIGITAL THERMOMETER.

CLINICAL THERMOMETER
THE THERMOMETER THAT MEASURES OUR BODY TEMPERATURE IS CALLED A CLINICAL
THERMOMETER.
A CLINICAL THERMOMETER CONSISTS OF A LONG,NARROW,UNIFORM GLASS TUBE. IT HAS A
BULB IN ONE END WHICH CONTAINS OF MERCURY.OUTSIDE THE BULB , A SHINING THREAD
OF MERCURY CAN BE SEEN.

WE CAN ALSO SEE A SCALE ON THE THERMOMETER.THE SCALE WE USE ON CELCIUS SCALE
WAS INDICATED BY ºc .
KINK PREVENTS MERCURY LEVEL FROM FALLING ON ITS OWN.
THE CLINICAL THERMOMETER IS DESIGNED TO MEASURE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HUMAN
BODY ONLY.
THE TEMPERATURE OF A HUMAN BODY DOES NOT GO BELOW 35ºC OR ABOVE 42ºC.
THAT IS THE REASON THAT THIS THERMOMETER HAS A RANGE FROM 35ºC TO 42ºC.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHILE
READING A CLINICAL THERMOMETER
THERMOMETER SHOULD BE WASHED BEFORE AND AFTER USE,PREFERABLY WITH AN
ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION.
ENSURE THAT BEFORE USE, THE MERCURY LEVEL IS BELOW 35ºC.
READ THE THERMOMETER KEEPING THE LEVEL OF MERCURY ALONG THE LINE OF SIGHT.
HANDLE THE THERMOMETER WITH CARE.IF IT HITS AGAINST SOME HARD OBJECT,IT CAN
BREAK.
DON’T HOLD THE THERMOMETER BY THE BULB WHILE READING IT

LABORATORY
THERMOMETER
THE RANGE OF LABORATORY THERMOMETER IS
-10ºC TO 110ºC.
IT IS USED IN LABORATORIES TO MEASURE
TEMPERATURE OF HIGH ACCURACY.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHILE
READING A LABORATORY THERMOMETER
IN ADDITION TO THE PRECAUTIONS NEEDED WHILE READING A CLINICAL THERMOMETER.
THE LABORATORY THERMOMETER SHOULD BE KEPT UPRIGHT,NOT TILTED.
THE BULB SHOULD BE SURROUNDED FROM ALL SIDES BY THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH
TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE MEASURED.
THE BULB SHOULD NOT TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THE CONTAINER.

MAXIMUM-MINIMUM THERMOMETER
THERMOMETER THAT RECORDS HIGHEST AND LOWEST TEMPERATURE REACHED DURING A
PERIOD OF TIME.
03/08/2021 C H A P T E R - H E AT 9
DIGITAL THERMOMETER
THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN OVER THE USE OF MERCURY IN THERMOMETER’S
MERCURY IS A TOXIC SUBSTANCE AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DISPOSE OF, IF A
THERMOMETER BREAKS, SO IT’S BETTER TO USE DIGITAL THERMOMETER RATHER THAN
CLINICAL THERMOMETER.
DIGITAL THRMOMETERS DO NOT USE MERCURY.

TRANSFER OF HEAT
TRANSFER OF HEAT TAKES PLACE THROUGH :
CONDUCTION
CONVECTION
RADIATION
3/1/20XX SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 11
CONDUCTION
THE PROCESS BY WHICH HEAT IS TRANSFERRED FROM HOTTER END TO THE COLDER END OF
AN OBJECT IS KNOWN AS CONDUCTION.
IN SOLIDS, GENERALLY, HEAT IS TRANSFERRED BY THE PROCESS OF CONDUCTION
03/08/2021 C H A P T E R - H E AT 12
CONVECTION
THE TRANSFER OF HEAT BY THE MOVEMENT OF THE FLUID{LIQUID/GAS} BETWEEN
THE AREAS OF DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE IS CALLED CONVECTION.
3/1/20XX SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 13
RADIATION
IT IS THE TRANSFER OF HEAT WHICH DOES NOT
REQUIRE ANY MEDIUM
EXAMPLES:
FROM THE SUN HEAT COMES TO US BY RADIATION.
A HOT UTENSIL KEPT AWAY FROM THE FLAME
COOLS DOWN.
WE GET HEAT FROM THE ROOM HEATER.

CONDUCTORS & INSULATORS
CONDUCTORS:
THE MATERIALS WHICH ALLOW HEAT TO PASS THROUGH THEM EASILY ARE CONDUCTORS
OF HEAT. EXAMPLE:-ALLUMINIUM,IRON,COPPER .
INSULATORS:
THE MATERIALS WHICH DO NOT ALLOW HEAT TO PASS THROUGH THEM EASILY ARE POOR
CONDUCTORS OF HEAT OR INSUATORS OF HEAT. EXAMPLE:-PLASTIC,WOOD,RUBBER.

SEA BREEZE AND LAND BREEZE
SEA BREEZE:-
DURING THE DAY, THE LAND GET’S HEATED FASTER THAN WATER. THE AIR OVER THE LAND
BECOMES HOTTER AND RISES UP.THE COOLER AIR FROM THE SEA RUSHES IN TOWARDS THE
LAND TO TAKE IT’S PLACE.THE WARM AIR FROM THE LAND MOVES TOWARDS THE SEA TO
COMPLETE THE CYCLE.THE AIR FROM THE SEA IS CALLED SEA BREEZE.
3/1/20XX SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 16
LAND BREEZE:-
AT NIGHT, IT IS EXACTLY THE REVERSE. THE WATER COOLS DOWN MORE SLOWLY THAN THE
LAND. SO COOL AIR FROM THE LAND MOVES TOWARDS THE SEA . THIS IS CALLED LAND BREEZE.
