NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
In an experiment, the temperature difference (T2 - T1) between hot water in a calorimeter and the surrounding water is monitored over time. If the natural logarithm of this temperature difference is plotted against time and results in a linear graph, what property of the cooling process can be concluded?
A
The rate of cooling is constant.
B
The rate of cooling depends on the temperature difference.
C
The temperature difference remains constant.
D
The cooling process is independent of time.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The linear relationship between ln(T2 - T1) and time suggests that the rate of cooling is proportional to the temperature difference, indicating Newton's law of cooling.
