Newton’s Law of Cooling;

the rate of loss of heat from a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperature of the body and its surroundings.
dQ/dt ∝ (q – qs)
dQ/dt = -k[q – qs)]

Methods to Apply Newton’s Law of Cooling

when we need only approximate values from Newton’s law, we can assume a constant rate of cooling, which is equal to the rate of cooling corresponding to the average temperature of the body during the interval.
i.e. dθ\dt = k(<q> – q0)

$T_{1} > T_{2} > T_{3}$

$T_{1} > T_{3} > T_{2}$

$T_{2} > T_{3} > T_{1}$

$T_{3} > T_{2} > T_{1}$

Medium

Answer ▽

Correct option is B)

As we know that from emissive power $E \propto T^{4}$ and from wein's displacement law $λ_{m a x} \times T = c o n s t a n t$ . So if emissivity will be maximum them simultaneously it's temperature will be maximum, but from the wein's law we can say that the particle which has maximum temperature will have lower wavelength.
So, $E \propto T \propto \frac{1}{λ}$
So, we can say:
$T_{1} > T_{3} > T_{2}$
$E_{1} > E_{3} > E_{2}$
But, $λ_{1} < λ_{3} < λ_{2}$

Question: From NCERT NEET 2016

A body cools from a temperature 3T to 2T in10 minutes. The room temperature is T. Assume that Newton's law of cooling is applicable. The temperature of the body at the end of next 10 minutes will be -

(a) $\frac{7}{4} T$ (b) $\frac{3}{2} T$

Mapping : Physics>Thermal Properties of Matter>Newton's Law of Cooling

Answer ▽

b) $\frac{3}{2} T$

From newton's law of cooling

$\\ \frac{3T-2T}{10}=K.(\frac{3T+2T}{2}-T)=\frac{3}{2}KT$

$\frac{T}{10}=\frac{3KT}{2}\ \: \: \: \:or\: \: \: \: K=\frac{1}{15}\ \: \: \: ..........(1)$

Let us say temperature after 10 minutes become T1

Then $\frac{2T-T_{1}}{10}=K\left [ \frac{2T+T_{1}}{2}-T \right ]$

$\\ \frac{2T-T_{1}}{10}=\frac{1}{15}(\frac{T_{1}}{2})\\ or\ \: \: 6T-3T_{1}=T_{1}\ \: \: \: or\ \: \: T_{1}=\frac{3}{2}T$

Newton's law of cooling is a special case of
(1) Stefan's law

(2) Kirchhoff's law

(3) Wien's law

Answer ▽

(1) Stefan's law

Newton's law cooling is a special case of Stefan-Boltzmann’s law where the temperature difference of the body and the surrounding is very small.

Let us understand what the other laws given in the options tell us.
(i) Kirchoff’s law: It says that the ratio of emissive power to absorptive power is the same for all surfaces at the same temperature and is equal to the emissive power of a perfectly black body at that temperature.
(ii) Wien’s law: According to this law, the product of wavelength for which a black body emits radiation of maximum intensity and the temperature of the body is constant.

Question: From NCERT NEET Derived PYQ

In Newton's experiment of cooling, the water equivalent of two similar calorimeters is 10 gm each. They are filled with 350 gm of water and 300 gm of a liquid (equal volumes) separately. The time taken by water and liquid to cool from 70°C to 60°C is 3 min and 95 sec respectively. The specific heat of the liquid will be
(1) 0.3 Cal/gm $\times$ °C

(2) 0.5 Cal/gm $\times$ °C

(3) 0.6 Cal/gm $\times$ °C

(4) 0.8 Cal/gm $\times$ °C

The correct option is C

0.6 Cal/gm ´°C

$S_{l} = \frac{1}{m_{l}} [\frac{t_{l}}{t_{w}} (M_{w} C_{w} + W) - W]$

(3) Different volumes of the liquids at the same temperature are taken

(4) Equal volumes of the liquids at the same temperature are taken

Question: From NCERT NEET Derived PYQ

The temperature of a liquid drops from 365 K to 361 K in 2 minutes. Find the time during which temperature of the liquid drops from 344 K to 342 K . Temperature of room is 293 K
(a) 84 sec (b) 72 sec
(c) 66 sec (d) 60 sec

Answer ▽

(a) 84 sec

The correct option is A $84 sec$
Newton's law of cooling says that,
$\frac{θ_{1} - θ_{2}}{t} \propto (\frac{θ_{1} + θ_{2}}{2} - θ_{0})$
From the data given in the question,
$\frac{365 - 361}{2} = K [\frac{365 + 361}{2} - 293]$
$\Rightarrow K = \frac{1}{35} {min}^{- 1}$
Again, for change in temperature from $344 K$ to $342 K$ ,
$\frac{344 - 342}{t} = \frac{1}{35} [\frac{344 + 342}{2} - 293]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{t} = \frac{10}{7}$
$\Rightarrow t = \frac{7}{5} min = \frac{7}{5} \times 60 = 84 sec$
Thus, option (a) is the correct answer.

Question: From NCERT NEET Derived PYQ

An object is cooled from 75°C to 65°C in 2 minutes in a room at 30°C. The time taken to cool another object from 55°C to 45°C in the same room in minutes is -

(1) 4

(2) 5

(3) 6

(4) 7

Answer ▽

According to Newton's law of cooling,
$- \frac{d θ}{d t} \propto (θ - θ_{0})$
$- \frac{d θ}{d t} = K (θ - θ_{0})$
where, $K$ is a constant of proportionality.
Now, $\frac{75 - 65}{2} = K (\frac{75 + 65}{2} - 30) = K \times 40 \Rightarrow K = \frac{1}{8}$
In case of second identical object
$\frac{55 - 45}{t} = K (\frac{55 + 45}{2} - 30)$
$\frac{10}{t} = \frac{1}{8} \times 20$
$\Rightarrow t = \frac{80}{20} = 4 min$
