Thermal Properties of Matter

Q1.

Heat energy is supplied at a constant rate to two substances, \(P\) and \(Q,\) which have equal masses. The variation of temperature \((T)\) with time \((t)\) for each substance is shown in the figure.

Which of the following statements is correct?

  • The specific heat of \\(P\\) is greater than that of \\(Q.\\)
  • The specific heat of \\(Q\\) is greater than that of \\(P.\\)
  • Both substances have the same specific heat.
  • The data is insufficient to determine the specific heat.
