Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .
The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.
Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-
Here c is the specific heat capacity.
The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.
As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.
From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.
Answer:
Explanation:
Rydberg formula is used to calculate the wavelengths of the spectral lines of many chemical elements. For the hydrogen, is defined as:
Where is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen and
,
are the lower energy state and the higher energy state, respectively.
A) 1.55
The speed of light in a medium is given by:
where
is the speed of light in a vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material
In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is
So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:
B) 550.3 nm
The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is
where
is the wavelenght in quartz
is the wavelength in air
n is the refractive index
For the light in this problem, we have
Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find , the wavelength in air:
