    A bimetal made copper and iron strips welded together is straight at room temperature. It is held vertically with iron strip towards left and copper strip towards right. If this bimetal is heated, it will
    Since the strips are welded together, the combined strip will bend towards left ( towards iron ) since copper strip will have more length than the iron strip.

    When temperature difference between liquid and its surroundings is doubled, the rate of loss of heat will:
    According to Newton’s law of cooling, the rate of loss of heat of a body is directly proportional to the difference between the temperature of hot body and temperature of the surroundings, provided that the difference in temperature is small enough.

    Why does the sea appear blue in colour?
    When sunlight hits the surface of sea or ocean, some of the light gets reflected back, whereas, most of the longer wavelengths such as red, orange and yellow penetrate sea water and get absorbed by the water molecules. So only the shorter wavelengths of light which contain violet and blue colors are reflected back to reach our eyes. Hence the sea water appears blue.
