NEET Physics Newton's Law of Cooling Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Rate of cooling (i) Temperature difference (b) Excess temperature (ii) Proportional to surrounding temperature (c) Newton's contribution (iii) Systematic study of heat loss (d) Cooling curve (iv) Graph of temperature versus time
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Newton's Law of Cooling, the rate of cooling of a body is indeed proportional to the excess temperature (the difference between the body temperature and the surrounding temperature). Newton was one of the first to systematically study the relationship between heat loss and temperature, which is reflected in the cooling curve showing temperature change over time.
