7) Give two disadvantages of empirical thermometers.
8) Consider two liquids, A and B. with temperatures Te > TA. The two objects are put into thermal contact for a
time period. Without just saying 'heat flows from hot to cold' how would you prove to someone that a quantity of
heat flowed from B to A. (think of James Joule's experiments)
9) If the temperature of the sun were to suddenly double, by what multiplicative factor would the thermal radiation
change ? Show Work
