TS EAMCET · Physics · Thermal Properties of Matter

A hot body placed in air cools down to a lower temperature. The rate of decrease of temperature is proportional to the temperature difference from the surrounding. The body loses \(60 \%\) and \(80 \%\) of maximum heat it can loose in time \(t_1\) and \(t_2\) respectively. The ratio \(t_2 / t_1\) will be

  1. A \(\frac{\ln (10)}{\ln (2)}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\ln (8)}{\ln (6)}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\ln (1)}{\ln (3)}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\ln (5)}{\ln \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\ln (5)}{\ln \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Newton's law of cooling, \[ -\frac{d T}{d t} \alpha \Delta \mathrm{T} \text { or } \frac{d T}{d t}=-K \Delta \mathrm{T} \] Solved the above Eq., we get…
