Specific heat capacity and magnification

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around deriving the formulas for specific heat capacity and magnification power of a lens. Specific heat capacity for an ideal gas at constant pressure is expressed as Q/(n*dT), where Q is the heat added, n is the number of moles, and dT is the temperature change. The ideal gas law, pV=nRT, can be utilized to find temperature at various stages. The original poster seeks assistance with these derivations, indicating a need for clarity on the concepts. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these fundamental physics principles.

Hello, Faizan Here
Can anyone show ne how to derive the formula of specific heat capacity pls.? Also i need the derivation of the formula of magnification power of a lens? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.

Don't you have a textbook?
 
to obtain specific heat capacity of an ideal gas at constant pressure =
Q/(n*dT) where Q is amount of heat , n is numba of moles of gas and dT is change in temp. You can use pV=nRT to find the temp at different stages where R =8.314;
hope that helps
peace
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
