Subject :NSO    Class : Class 7

Read the statements carefully and mark the correct option.

Statement 1 : Specific heat capacity is the cause of formation of land and sea breeze.

Statement 2 : The specific heat of water is more than land.

(A) Both statements 1 and 2 are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.

(B) Both statements 1 and 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.

(C) Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.

(D) Both statements 1 and 2 are false.
I believe the answer is A. The specific heat capacity difference between land and water results in land and sea breezes. Water has a high specific heat capacity, so to raise one unit of mass by 1degree celsius it takes more heat than land which has a relatively low specific heat capacity. Both land and sea get the same amount of sunlight( heat) so water takes more time to raise its temperature than land does. This results in breezes with further logic as you know.

Ans A When playing a musical instrument that is a closed-end air column, such as the bottles in this activity, the pitch of the note that is made depends on the length of the air column. In other words, the pitch depends on how much water has filled up the bottle and how much empty space remains. This is because the pitch of the sound we hear depends on the frequency of the sound wave that can be created within the bottle's air. The shorter the air column (that is, the shorter the height of the air in the bottle) the higher the frequency. And the higher the frequency the higher the perceived pitch. This is why the empty bottle should have produced a sound wave with a lower frequency than the others and the bottle that was nearly full (three quarters full) should have made the highest pitch.
