MCQ
When water boils or freezes, during these processes its temperature:
- AIncreases.
- BDecreases.
- ✓Does not change.
- DSometimes increase and sometimes deceases.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Does not change.
When water boils or freezes, its temperature does not change during these processes. Heat here is absorbed or liberated as latent heat.

The figure below shows the variation of specific heat capacity $(C)$ of a solid as a function of temperature $(T)$. The temperature is increased continuously from $0$ to $500 \ K$ at a constant rate. Ignoring any volume change, the following statement$(s)$ is (are) correct to a reasonable approximation.$Image$
→$(A)$ the rate at which heat is absorbed in the range $0-100 \ K$ varies linearly with temperature $T$.
$(B)$ heat absorbed in increasing the temperature from $0-100 \ K$ is less than the heat required for increasing the temperature from $400-500 \ K$.

→A small particle of mass $m$ moving inside a heavy, hollow and straight tube along the tube axis undergoes elastic collision at two ends. The tube has no friction and it is closed at one end by a flat surface while the other end is fitted with a heavy movable flat piston as shown in figure. When the distance of the piston from closed end is $L = L _0$ the particle speed is $v = v _0$. The piston is moved inward at a very low speed $V$ such that $V \ll \frac{ dL }{ L } v _0$, where $dL$ is the infinitly small displacement of the piston. Which of the following statement($s$) is/are correct?
→$(1)$ The rate at which the particle strikes the piston is $v / L$
$(2)$ After each collision with the piston, the particle speed increases by $2 V$
$(3)$ The particle's kinetic energy increases by a factor of $4$ when the piston is moved inward from $L _0$ to $\frac{1}{2} L _0$
$(4)$ If the piston moves inward by $d L$, the particle speed increases by $2 v \frac{d L}{L}$
