41
Q

What is the equation for linear expansion of a solid?

A
42
Q

1 BTU = amount of …

A

1 BTU = amount of heat needed to raise 1 lb of water by 1 ^F

43
Q

1 Calorie = amount of …

A

1 Calorie = amount of heat needed to raise 1 kg of water by 1 ^C

44
Q

1 calorie = amount of …

A

1 calorie = amount of heat needed to raise 1 gram of water by 1^C

45
Q

Water is densest at what temperature?

Water expands when lowered to what temperature?

A

Water is densest at what temperature = 4^C

Water expands when lowered to what temperature =0^C

46
Q

Conservation of energy

energy cannot be created nor destroyed

47
Q

49
Q

What is the formula for Specific heat capacity? (Metric)

A

Q = (m)(C)(Change in T)

where Q = heat gained or lost

m = mass in kg

C = specific heat capacity ( joules /kg)

50
Q

What is the equation for volume expansion when heated?

A

recall linear expansion equation

Change in length = (a)(change in length)(change in temp)

and note length x3 = volume

Thus answer Volumetric expansion

Change in V = 3(a)(Origianl volume)(change in T)

51
Q

What is the equation for area change when heated?

A

recall linear expansion equation:

change in length = (a)(original length)(change in temp)

Area is just length x2

therefore area equation

Change in Area = 2(a)(Original Area)(change in temp)

A

N = C / V

where

N = index of refraction

C = Celerity (speed of light 3x10^8 m/s)

V = speed of light in that substance

54
Q

What is the formula for snells law?

A

snells law = sin i / sin r

where i = angle of incidence

r = angle of refraction

55
