उत्तर
The frost can seriously damage the leaves and fruit of plants. When a farmer waters his fields, during, night, this water gives large amount of heat energy, because 1 g of water will liberate 4.2 J of energy for every 1°C fall in temperature. Thus, the air around the field is saturated with heat energy and its temperature does not fall below 0°C. Thus, no frost is formed.

Consider the statement given below and choose the correct option.
Assertion: Radiation is a form of heat transfer which takes place only in vacuum.
Reason: The thermal energy is transferred from one part of a substance to another part without the actual movement of the atoms or molecules.
50 g of copper is heated to increase its temperature by 10° C. If the same quantity of heat is given to 5 g water, the rise in its temperature is [Specific heat of copper = 420 joule-kg-1 °C-1 , specific heat of water = 4200 joule-kg-I °C-1]
Calculate the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 200 g of copper from 20°C to 70°C. Specific heat capacity of copper = 390 J kg-1 K-1.
