Laboratory Manual. Montana State University-Billings. Lab # 1 Specific Heat and Calorimetry. Theory: The specific heat (c) of an object is defined by the equation that relates the heat energy (Q) absorbed by an object of mass m to its corresponding increase in temperature (∆T): Q = mc∆T.
The Sun is the major source of light for the earth. The sun is a massive ball of fire, at the centre of which nuclear fusion produces massive energy. This energy comes out as heat and light.
The source of solar power is energy carried by the electromagnetic waves radiated by the Sun. Most of this energy is carried by visible light and infrared (heat) radiation.
Through the exercises in this manual, you will explore the physical principles that govern the production and use of energy. The point is to get an intuitive idea of this abstract concept of energy by using it to make sense of the behavior of real objects. The lab is where you can apply the physics from the lectures and your textbook to
In this AP lab manual, the inquiry-based structure includes the following components: 1. Pre-assessment section. This section contains a list of questions that you should answer before starting each activity. These are meant to get you thinking about the main concepts of each lab.

The goals of the lab are twofold: (1) for you to see and experience physics at a hands-on level and (2) for you to learn how to use the experimental method to reach conclusions.
