Reason (R) : The process of heat transfer that does not require any medium is called

convection.

Reason (R) : We use a clinical thermometer to measure the degree of hotness of our

body.

Reason (R): Various modes by which heat can flow are conduction, convection and

radiation.

4 . Assertion (A) : A clinical thermometer has a scale in the range of 37∘ C to 45∘ C.
