Class 11Physics10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and CalorimetryTemperature and Temperature scales
Easy''Amount of heat is greater in hot body than cold body.'' Check the correctness of this statement.
(N/A) The statement is incorrect.
Heat is a form of energy in transit due to a temperature difference between two bodies.
It is not a property of a body,meaning a body does not 'contain' heat.
Instead,a body contains 'internal energy'.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a body.
Therefore,a hot body has a higher temperature than a cold body,but it does not possess a greater 'amount of heat'.
Heat is only defined when energy is transferred from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature.

View Solution$A$ new temperature scale uses $X$ as a unit of temperature,where the numerical value of the temperature $t_x$ in this scale is related to the absolute temperature $T$ by $t_x = 3T + 100$. If the specific heat of a material using this unit is $1400 \, J \, kg^{-1} X^{-1}$,its specific heat in the $SI$ system of units is:
On a temperature scale $X$,the boiling point of water is $65^{\circ} X$ and the freezing point is $-15^{\circ} X$. Assume that the $X$ scale is linear. The equivalent temperature corresponding to $-95^{\circ} X$ on the Fahrenheit scale would be $..........^{\circ} F$.
The temperature at which the reading on the Fahrenheit scale becomes $90 \%$ more than the reading on the Celsius scale is: (in $^{\circ} F$)
