Q1 · Sound and Heat · EASY
A student strikes a tuning fork and holds it near his ear. He hears a sound. Then he touches the prongs of the vibrating tuning fork to the surface of water in a beaker. What will he observe?
Q2 · Sound and Heat · MEDIUM
On a hot summer day, a metal spoon and a wooden spoon are left on a table in sunlight for one hour. When a student touches both spoons, the metal spoon feels much hotter than the wooden spoon. What is the reason for this observation?
Q3 · Sound and Heat · MEDIUM
A teacher demonstrates that sound cannot travel through vacuum by placing an electric bell inside a bell jar. As air is pumped out, the sound becomes fainter and finally stops, even though the bell is still ringing. A student asks why sound needs a medium. Which explanation is correct?
Q4 · Sound and Heat · HARD
In a science experiment, a student heats one end of an iron rod. After some time, the other end of the rod also becomes hot even though it is not directly heated. If the rod is 50 cm long and heat takes 2 minutes to reach the other end, what is the primary mode of heat transfer in this case, and why does the entire rod eventually reach thermal equilibrium?
Q5 · Sound and Heat · EASY
Which of the following statements about heat transfer is correct?
