Answer» SOLUTION :(i) The quantity of heatenergyrequiredto raise a temperatureofunit massofa substancethrough`1^(@)C`is calledspeificheatcapacity of a substance. (II) Three soildspheres of equal massesof materialiron,copperand lead are placedin boilingwaterfor same time.Afterremovingthensimultaneously,they are palcedon the wax trytogether . (iii) THESPHERE whichabsrobsmore heatcanmeltmorewax . (IV) Ironsphere meltsmorewaxand goesdeep into itray. Theleadsphere goes less deepinto themoltenwax. Thecoppersphere goes tointermediatedepth. (v) Thisindicatesthatthe heatabsorbed bydifferentmaterialdiffers. Theis specificheatcapacityof metals . (vi) Spefifcheatcapacityis denoted byletter 'c' . InCGSit is measured in `cal//g^(@)C`, whilein MKS , it ismeasuredin `j//kg^(@)C` .
