Question

A low-temperature physicist wishes to publish his experimental result that the heat capacity of a nonmagnetic dielectric material between 0.05K and 0.5K varies as
A√ T + BT^3

As editor of the journaL should you accept the paper for publication?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, this because the specific heat does not violate the third law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The third law of thermodynamic is usually used for a closed system to relate the thermodynamic properties of the system at equilibrium conditions. For this law, a body that exists at a temperature of 0 K will cease to move or stop moving. It can be inferred that heat capacity at (T = 0 K) is equivalent to 0. Therefore, the equation is valid for the given temperature range.
