Q95

Thermal diffusivity of a substance is given by (where h = Thermal diffusivity, = Density of substance, S = Specific heat and k = Thermal conductivity)

Thermal diffusivity of a substance is given by (where h = Thermal diffusivity, = Density of substance, S = Specific heat and k = Thermal conductivity)
A.
Answer
B.
C.
D.

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Thermal Diffusivity is defined as the ratio of heat conducted to the heat energy stored per unit volume of a material.
The thermal conductivity of a substance divided by the product of its density and its specific heat capacity.
Thermal diffusivity of a substance is given by
(Where h = Thermal diffusivity, = Density of substance, S = Specific heat and k = Thermal conductivity)
