The lowest attainable fahrenheit temperature is

0%
$-100^{\circ} F$
0%
$-459.4^{\circ} F$
0%
$-300^{\circ} F$
0%
$-373.2^{\circ} F$

Explanation

The lowest possible temperature, or absolute zero as it is called is

$-459.4^{o} F$ . By international agreement, absolute zero is taken as −273.15 degrees on the Celsius scale (International System of Units), which equals

$-459.4^{o} F$ degrees on the Fahrenheit scale

Hence, option B is correct.

The process in which rate of transfer of heat is maximum is :

0%
conduction
0%
convection
0%
radiation
0%
in all these, heat is transferred with the same speed

Explanation

$\textbf{Step 1}$ :

There are three modes of transmission of heat. They are Conduction, convection and radiation.

Conduction: In this mode of transmission. heat dissipates from one place to another by molecular vibration. It is relevant to solid only. Conduction needs a medium to transfer heat.

Convection: Heat is transferred from one place to another by the transfer of molecules. It happens only in liquids or gases. It also needs a medium to transfer heat.

Radiation: It transfers heat in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can heat any form of material. It doesn't need any medium for the transfer of heat.

$\textbf{Step 2}$ :

We know that radiation travels with the speed of light. So, the rate of heat transfer is maximum in radiation in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Thus option C is correct.

Which of the follwing is the smallest rise in temperature?

0%
$1^{\circ}F$
0%
$1K$
0%
$1^{\circ}C$
0%
All are of equal value

Explanation

There are 180 divisions in the Fahrenheit scale between the ice point and steam point while there are only 100 divisions in a Celsius scale.

And one scale division of a Kelvin scale is same as that of a Celsius scale.

So, $1^0F$ indicates a smaller rise in temperature than $1^0C$ and $1K$ .

At low temperatures ................. type of thermometer is used.

0%
mercury thermometer
0%
water thermometer
0%
alcohol thermometer
0%
thermometers cannot be used

Explanation

Alcohol thermometer.

Reason:

Alcohol expands uniformly.
It has a low freezing point ( $-115^oC$ ) therefore it is very suitable for the place where the temperature gets very low.
It is an easily available cheap liquid, which is safe to use.
Alcohol is cheaper than mercury, and if you break the thermometer, it is not toxic.
