(4) Quiz:
  1.       Why does a person wearing woollen sweater feels warm?
Ans: For a person wearing wool and down clothes, it is the air that makes him warm by reducing heat losses. When wearing wool and down clothes, the wool and the down trap air in the woollen fibres and down feathers, and this air acts as an insulator. Thus a person wearing wool and down clothes feels warm.
  2.       One end of a poker is placed in fire. After some time the other end becomes hot. Explain how heat is transferred along the poker. Name the method of heat transfer in this case.
Ans: At first the end of the poker placed in the fire gains heat energy. Then the other end becomes hot by successive distribution of heat energy among the adjacent parts. This method of heat transfer is heat conduction.
  3.       A silver spoon and a wooden spoon are at room temperature. Why does the silver spoon feel cold when it is touched?
Ans: Silver is the better conductor of heat than wood. When we touch the silver spoon, heat is taken from our body more quickly than in touching the wood. Thus, we feel cold.
Ans: The boiling point of water at normal pressure is 100 ºC. But the boiling point decreases as the pressure decreases. At the space, the pressure is very low and so is the boiling point. Thus, if a person wearing ordinary clothes travels out into space, the liquid in the body will boil when heat enters to his body. To prevent this, a space suit is constructed to make sure there is no heat transfer between the man and his environment. The suit consists of two layers. Between the layers is vacuum so that no conduction and convection take place. The outside is painted silvery to reduce heat radiation. 
  5.       In cold regions it is seen that birds on the branches of trees often ruffle their feathers. Why do the birds feel warm by ruffling their feathers?
Ans: By ruffling, air can enter and be trapped among feathers. This trapped air serves as an insulator to prevent heat conduction and convection or heat transfer to the surrounding. Thus the birds feel warm.
  6.       How does a blanket wrapped round our body keep us warm on a cold day?
Ans: When we wrap a blanket round our body, it is the air that makes us warm by reducing heat losses. When wrapping the blanket, the blanket traps air in the blanket’s fibres, and this air acts as an insulator. Thus, a blanket wrapped round our body keep us warm on a cold day.
  7.       How is heat transmitted from the sun to the earth?
Ans: Heat transfer from the sun to the earth is neither by conduction nor convection because in the space between the sun and the earth, there are hardly any molecules and this space is vacuum. Heat is transmitted from the sun to the earth by means of (electromagnetic) radiation. Electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum.
  8.       Is heat radiation a form of electromagnetic waves? Does it need a medium for propagation? What is its speed? Can heat radiation be explained by Maxwell's theory of electricity and magnetism?
Ans: Yes, No, 3 ´ 108 m s-1, Yes
