The amount of heat required to change the state of 1 kg of a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point without any change in temperature is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation
The amount of heat required to change the state of 1 kg of a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point without any change in temperature is called:
A. Latent heat of fusion
B. Thermal capacity
C. Specific heat capacity
D. Latent heat of vaporization
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The heat required to change a solid into a liquid at its melting point without a temperature rise is called the Latent Heat of Fusion. The word 'latent' means hidden, because this heat energy breaks intermolecular bonds to change the phase rather than increasing the kinetic energy (temperature) of the molecules.
Explanation:
Resolving power is a telescope's ability to distinguish closely spaced objects (like double stars) as separate. It is proportional to D / lambda, where D is the diameter (aperture) of the objective lens and lambda is the wavelength of light. Increasing the aperture D directly and strictly increases the resolving power.
Explanation:
Iris adjusts pupil size. In bright light pupil constricts, dim light dilates. Retina forms image. Cornea and lens focus. Eye is like camera.
