11.2 Heat, Specific Heat, and Heat Transfer
The value of specific heat is the same whether the units are J/kg⋅K or J/kg⋅ºC. How?
- Temperature difference is dependent on the chosen temperature scale.
- Temperature change is different in units of kelvins and degrees Celsius.
- Reading of temperatures in kelvins and degree Celsius are the same.
- The temperature change is the same in units of kelvins and degrees Celsius.
-
No, the energy of the radiation increases as the temperature increases, and the radiation becomes visible at certain temperatures.
-
Yes, the energy of the radiation decreases as the temperature increases, and the radiation remains invisible at those energies.
-
No, the energy of the radiation decreases as the temperature increases, until the frequencies of the radiation are the same as those of visible light.
-
Yes, as the temperature increases, and the energy is transferred from the object by other mechanisms besides radiation, so that the energy of the radiation does not increase.
