NEET Physics Temperature & Heat MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about heat transfer and temperature is correct?
Heat transfer is always from a warmer object to a cooler object.
Water has a lower specific heat capacity than most other substances.
Heat cannot be transferred through a vacuum.
The temperature of a substance increases when it absorbs heat, regardless of its specific heat capacity.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Heat transfer occurs from warmer to cooler objects, which is a fundamental principle of thermodynamics. Water's high specific heat capacity means it can absorb more heat without a significant increase in temperature, contrary to option B. Heat can be transferred through radiation in a vacuum, which contradicts option C. Finally, the temperature increase depends on the specific heat capacity, making option D incorrect.
