We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material
Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.
One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.
This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.
Answer:
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

Answer:
a. λ = 647.2 nm
b. I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
Given:
β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m
a.
The wavelength of the radiation can be find using
β = 2 π / γ * sin θ
λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β
λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad
λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m ⇒ λ = 647.2 nm
b.
The intensity of the central maximum I₀
I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²
I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²
I = I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵
