B. Answer the following questions.

Question 1.
Define heat as energy.
Answer:
Heat can be defined as a form of energy which causes sensation of warmth or coldness.

Question 2.
Define units of heat energy.
Answer:
Unit of heat energy is Joule. Commonly used unit of heat is calorie. One calorie is defined as amount of heat energy used to raise the temperature of lg of water by 1°C.

Question 3.
Describe temperature scales: degree Celsius, fahrenheit and kelvin.
Answer:
Celsius scale :
Total scale between these points is divided into 100 equal parts. Each part or division is called degree
Celsius which is denoted as °C. Ice point of scale is 0°C. Fahrenheit scale : This scale is on the name of the inventor Fahrenheit. In this scale water turns into ice at 32°F. Total scale between these points is divided into 180 equal parts. Each part or division is called degree fahrenheit which is denoted as °F.

Kelvin scale :
Total scale between these points is divided into 100 equal parts. Each part or division is called kelvin which is denoted as K. Ice point of scale is 273 K.

Question 4.
Describe different modes of heat transfer.
Answer:
Different modes of transfer of heat are :
(a) Conduction : It is a process of transfer of heat from one end to the other end of the object such that heat flows from particle to particle.
(b) Convection : It is a process of heat transfer by way of actual motion of the particles of a medium being heated.
(c) Radiation : It is a process of transfer of heat from hot object to a cold object even in the absence of a medium.

Question 5.
Decide about conductor and insulator of heat in different applications.
Answer:
If a substance is good conductor of heat, then heat transfer through conduction is easy. In case of insulators, heat transfer by conduction is almost nil.

Question 6.
Describe construction and working of thermos flask.
Answer:
It is a special flask which does not allow easy transfer of heat by keeping it insulated from the surrounding. It is popularly known as thermos. You might have seen that it is used to keep hot liquid hot and cold liquid cold for a longer duration.
Construction : Thermos flask has a double walled glass bottle. There is no air between the walls. There is vacuum between the walls.
ICSE Class 7 Physics Important Questions Chapter 5 Heat - 1
Bottle is placed on a cushion like cork kept inside a plastic case. Cork saves the glass bottle from shocks and breakage. Mouth of the flask has a stopper and a cap.

Working : When hot liquid, say tea, is put in the flask, the mouth of the flask is plugged by tightening its cap. Vacuum between the walls of the bottle do not allow transfer of heat by conduction and convection. Silvered walls from inside and outside of the bottle do not allow radiation of heat. Thus, liquid inside the flask can remain at the same temperature for a very long time.
