When two objects P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity pf P to Q is
A
1:4
B
4:1
C
1:1
D
2:1
correct option: c
H = mcθ

HP = HQ, θP = 2θ,

mP = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mQ

∴ HP = mQCPθP, also HQ = mQCQθQ

Since HP = HQ

∴ mPcPθP = mQcPθq

Putting in the conditions

\(\frac{1}{2}\)mQ × cP × 2θQ = mQ × θQ × cQ

∴ cP = cQ

\(\frac{C_p}{C_Q}\)= \(\frac{1}{1}\)

= 1:1
