B). silver coating on the inside of the double walls
C). vacuum between the double walls
D). combined effects of (b) and (c)

Answer: combined effects of (b) and (c)


   
142). For a given liquid, the rate of evaporation depend on
A). the temperature of the liquid
B). the temperature of air
C). the surface area of the liquid
D). all these factors

Answer: all these factors

   
143). A little ether on the palm gives a cooling sensation because ether
A). is a cold liquid
B). evaporates
C). enters the pores of the skin
D). condenses on the palm

Answer: evaporates


   
144). Water stored in earthenware cools because
A). earthenware has high heat capacity
B). earthenware is a good radiator of heat
C). water oozing out of the pores evaporates
D). earthenware absorbs heat from water

Answer: earthenware has high heat capacity



   
145). During summer, we feel comfortable under a fan because it
A). throws cool air on us
B). sets the air in motion, thereby, increasing the evaporation of sweat
C). produces convection currents
D). produces air which carries heat away from the body

Answer: sets the air in motion, thereby, increasing the evaporation of sweat



146). Perspiration is maximum when
A). temperature is high and air is dry
B). temperature is high and air is humid
C). temperature is low and air is humid
D). temperature is low and air is dry

Answer: temperature is high and air is humid

A). steam can penetrate the skin
B). steam is at a higher temperature
C). steam contains more energy than boiling water
D). steam is at a higher pressure

Answer: steam contains more energy than boiling water

   
148). One feels cold after a dip in sea water due to
A). convection currents
B). the deposition of salt on the body
C). the evaporation of water on the body
D). the difference in temperatures between land and sea

Answer: the evaporation of water on the body


   
149). The surface of water in a pond remains cool even on a hot day because
A). water evaporates at the surface and evaporation causes cooling
B). the heat absorbed at the surface is transmitted downwards
C). water in contact with the bottom of the pond becomes cool and rises to the surface due to convention
D). none of these

Answer: water evaporates at the surface and evaporation causes cooling
