Heating a metal rod is an example of conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between particles.

Boiling water in a pot is a classic example of convection, where hot water rises and cooler water descends.

Heat transfer in a pot of boiling water is an example of forced convection.

Sunlight warming the Earth is an example of heat transfer by radiation, as it does not require a medium.

Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of heat among the given options.

Glass Wool has the highest thermal resistance among the given materials, making it a good insulator.

Copper is known for its excellent thermal conductivity, making it the best conductor among the given options.

In an adiabatic process, the system does not exchange heat with its surroundings, leading to a change in temperature.

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, such as compressing a gas without heat exchange.

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, such as compressing a gas in a piston without heat exchange.

Melting ice at 0°C is an isothermal process as the temperature remains constant during the phase change.

A static process does not involve any change in state variables, hence it is not considered a thermodynamic process.

All the listed processes are governed by the First Law of Thermodynamics, so the answer is 'None of the above'.

An ideal gas is defined as a gas that has no intermolecular forces and follows the ideal gas law under all conditions.

Entropy is a measure of disorder, and it is constant in reversible processes, making both statements a and c true.

In thermal equilibrium, no heat flows between systems, meaning they are at the same temperature.

For an ideal gas, the internal energy depends only on temperature, not on volume or pressure.

The first law of thermodynamics is a statement of conservation of energy, applicable to all thermodynamic systems.

The second law of thermodynamics introduces the concept of entropy, stating that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time.

A dull black surface is the best emitter of radiation according to Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation.

A black surface is the best emitter of thermal radiation due to its high emissivity.

An isobaric process occurs at constant pressure and can involve a change in temperature due to heat transfer.

In an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange with the surroundings, leading to a change in temperature.

Heating involves a change in temperature without a change in phase.

Convection is the process of heat transfer through the movement of fluids.
