Answer:

Wood

Explanation:

The measure of any material to conduct heat is called its thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of metal is very high as compared to insulators and semiconductors.

The thermal conductivity of wood is 0.12-0.04 W/m K. Plastics have thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/m K. The thermal conductivity of fiber glass or foam glass is 0.045 W/m K

Wood is a best heat insulator. This is because, the atoms of wood have much tightly bound electrons.              

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Of the materials listed wood is the best insulator. It would be the least hot if exposed to similar temperatures.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

L = 0.635m

Explanation:

This problem involves the concept of stationary waves in pipes. For pipes closed at one end,

The frequency f = nv/4L for n = 1,3,5....n

For pipes open at both ends

f = nv/2L for n = 1,2,3,4...n

Assuming the pipe is closed at one end and that velocity of sound is 343m/s in air. If we are right we will obtain a whole number for n.

The film solution can be found in the attachment below.
