JEE Main & Advanced Physics Transmission of Heat Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       Temperatures near the sea coast are moderate.       Reason                 :       Water has a high thermal conductivity. [AIIMS 2003]

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                During the day when water is cooler than the land, the wind blows off the water onto the land (as warm air rises and cooler air fills the place). Also at night, the effect is reversed (since the water is usually warmer than the surrounding air on land). Due to this wind flow the temperature near the sea coast remains moderate.
