प्रश्न
On a hot summer day we want to cool our room by opening the refrigerator door and closing all the windows and doors. Will the process work?

उत्तर
No. When the door of the refrigerator is left open in a closed room, the heat given out by the refrigerator to the room will be more than that taken from the room. Therefore, instead of decreasing, the temperature of the room will increase at a slower rate.

A glass full of hot milk is poured on the table. It begins to cool gradually. Which of the following is correct?
- The rate of cooling is constant till milk attains the temperature of the surrounding.
- The temperature of milk falls off exponentially with time.
- While cooling, there is a flow of heat from milk to the surrounding as well as from surrounding to the milk but the net flow of heat is from milk to the surounding and that is why it cools.
- All three phenomenon, conduction, convection and radiation are responsible for the loss of heat from milk to the surroundings.
One day in the morning, Ramesh filled up 1/3 bucket of hot water from geyser, to take bath. Remaining 2/3 was to be filled by cold water (at room temperature) to bring mixture to a comfortable temperature. Suddenly Ramesh had to attend to something which would take some times, say 5-10 minutes before he could take bath. Now he had two options: (i) fill the remaining bucket completely by cold water and then attend to the work, (ii) first attend to the work and fill the remaining bucket just before taking bath. Which option do you think would have kept water warmer? Explain.
