When two objects P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat,the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that in Q. If the masses of P and Q are the same,calculate the ratio of the specific heat capacities of P and Q

  • A. 1:1
  • B. 1:3
  • C. 1:4
  • D. 1:2

Correct Answer: D. 1:2

Explanation

\(MC_{p}\ \times 2\theta^2\ = mc\theta\ \times \theta\) ; \(\frac{C_{p}}{CQ}\) = \(\frac{m}{2mo}\)
