The instructor states Wien's displacement law, which says that the wavelength for which the energy is maximum is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature.
Ventilators in Rooms [1:41:20]
The instructor explains that ventilators are provided in rooms just below the roof because hot air has less density and moves up due to convection.
Heat Radiation at 0 Kelvin and 0 Celsius [1:42:26]
The instructor explains that a body does not radiate heat at 0 Kelvin but radiates heat at 0 degrees Celsius.
White Roofs During Summer [1:43:00]

The instructor explains that the brake drum of an automobile gets heated up while moving down at a constant speed due to the friction between the wheel and the brake drum.
Thermo Flask Shaking [1:48:06]
The instructor explains that when a thermo flask containing liquid is shaken vigorously, the temperature increases slightly because work is done on the system, increasing its internal energy.
Refrigerator Door Open [1:48:45]
The instructor explains that a room cannot be cooled by leaving the doors of an electric refrigerator open because the refrigerator absorbs heat from the cold reservoir and rejects more heat into the surrounding, increasing the room's temperature.
Internal Energy Changes in Thermodynamic Processes [1:50:00]
The instructor explains that in an isothermal process, there is no change in internal energy (ΔU = 0) because the temperature is constant. In an adiabatic process, the change in internal energy is equal to the negative of the work done (ΔU = -ΔW).
Skating on Snow [1:51:40]
