    If the ratio of coefficient of thermal conductivity of silver and copper is 10 : 9, then the ratio of the lengths upto which wax will melt in Ingen Hausz experiment will be [DPMT 2001]

    A)            6 : 10                                        

    B)            \[\sqrt{10}:3\]

    C)            100 : 81                                   

    D)            81 : 100

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[{{K}_{1}}:{{K}_{2}}=l_{1}^{2}:l_{2}^{2}\Rightarrow \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{10}{9}}=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{3}\]
