    Ice starts freezing in a lake with water at\[{{0}^{o}}C\] when the atmospheric temperature is\[-{{10}^{o}}C\]. If the time taken for \[1cm\] of ice to be formed is 12 min, the time taken for the thickness of the ice to change from \[1\] to \[2cm\] will be

    A)  12 min

    B)  less than 12 min

    C)  more than 12 min but less than 24 min

    D)  more than 24 min

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Time taken by ice to grow a thickness of            \[t=\frac{eL}{2K\theta }{{y}^{2}}\] Hence time interval to change thickness from \[0\]to\[y\], from\[y\]to\[2y\]and so on will be in the ratio                 \[\Delta {{t}_{1}}:\Delta {{t}_{2}}:\Delta {{t}_{3}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[=(1-{{0}^{2}}):({{2}^{2}}-{{1}^{2}}):({{3}^{2}}-{{2}^{2}})\]                 \[\Delta {{t}_{1}}:\Delta {{t}_{2}}:\Delta {{t}_{3}}=1:3:5\] According to question\[=\Delta {{t}_{1}}<\]term is                 \[\Delta {{t}_{2}}=3\Delta H\]                       \[=3\times 12=36\,\,\min \]
