In the Ingen Hauz’s experiment the wax melts up to lengths $10$ and $25 cm$ on two identical rods of different materials. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the two materials is
$1:6.25$
$6.25 : 1$
$1:\sqrt {2.5} $
$1:2.5$
The wall with a cavity consists of two layers of brick separated by a layer of air.All three layers have the same thickness and the thermal conductivity of the brick is much greater than that of air. The left layer is at a higher temperature than the right layer and steady state condition exists. Which of the following graphs predicts correctly the variation of temperature $T$ with distance $d$ inside the cavity?
Two rods having thermal conductivity in the ratio of $5 : 3$ having equal lengths and equal cross-sectional area are joined by face to face. If the temperature of the free end of the first rod is $100°C$ and free end of the second rod is $20°C$ . Then temperature of the junction is...... $^oC$
Consider two rods of same length and different specific heats $\left(S_{1}, S_{2}\right)$, conductivities $\left(K_{1}, K_{2}\right)$ and area of cross-sections $\left(A_{1}, A_{2}\right)$ and both having temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ at their ends. If rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal, then
At a common temperature, a block of wood and a block of metal feel equally cold or hot. The temperatures of block of wood and block of metal are
Two rods $A$ and $B$ of different materials are welded together as shown in figure.Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$ The thermal conductivity of the composite rod will be
