When fluids are heated from the bottom, convection currents are produced because -

(1) Molecular motion of fluid becomes aligned

(2) Molecular collisions take place within the fluid

(3) Heated fluid becomes more dense than the cold fluid above it

(4) Heated fluid becomes less dense than the cold fluid above it

(2) The temperature of A is maximum, C is minimum and B is intermediate

(3) The temperature of B is maximum, A is minimum and C is intermediate

(4) The temperature of C is maximum, B is minimum and A is intermediate

(3) 2500 K           

(4) 3000 K

Two spherical black bodies of radii ${\mathrm{r}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{r}}_2$ and with surface temperature ${\mathrm{T}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{T}}_2$ respectively radiate the same power. Then the ratio of ${\mathrm{r}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{r}}_2$ will be

Two identical objects A and B are at temperatures ${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and ${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{B}}$ respectively. Both objects are placed in a room with perfectly absorbing walls maintained at temperatures T(${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{A}}$>T>${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{B}}$). The objects A and B attain temperature T eventually. Which one of the following is the correct statement?

(1) ‘A’ only emits radiations while B only absorbs them until both attain temperature

(2) A loses more radiations than it absorbs while B absorbs more radiations than it emits until temperature T is attained

(3) Both A and B only absorb radiations until they attain temperature T

(4) Both A and B only emit radiations until they attain temperature T

In Newton's experiment of cooling, the water equivalent of two similar calorimeters is 10 gm each. They are filled with 350 gm of water and 300 gm of a liquid (equal volumes) separately. The time taken by water and liquid to cool from 70°C to 60°C is 3 min and 95 sec respectively. The specific heat of the liquid will be
