Measurements of the specific heat involve measurements of heat of the type
discussed in Sec. 4-2. In measuring heat by the comparison method (or method
of mixtures), it used to be popular to select water as the reference substance.
Hence a ...

Hence all molecules of this type which lie within the infinitesimal cylinder of cross
-sectional area dA and of a length v dt making an angle 6 with the e axis will
strike the wall within the time interval dt; the molecules lying outside this cylinder
will ...

This would again lead to a nonpermissible temperature difference being
produced between these bodies. Hence we can conclude that /.(k) = /.(«), where
k = |te| 3. The number / is independent of the direction of polarization of the
radiation, i.e., ...
