Why specific heat of solids and liquids doesn't change with change in temperature?
Why the specific heat of solids and liquid does not change?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The specific heat of solids and liquids does change with temperature, contrary to common assumptions. For instance, the specific heat of copper varies as a function of temperature, indicating that materials do not maintain a constant specific heat across all temperature ranges. This phenomenon is critical for accurate thermal calculations in engineering and materials science.
