Question

In science sometimes we observe certain phenomenon experimentally but are unable to give a logical equation or theory for that. Sometimes, it also happens that we have a scientific theory supported by mathematical formulation yet are unable to test it immediately. Cite one such example.

Answer

Einstein worked to establish a relation between the energy and mass of body. He was of the view that these are the two sides of the same coin or two facets of the same physical quantity. He succeeded when he gave his mass energy equation $E = mc^2$. But its experimental verification came 40 years later in 1945 when atomic bomb was exploded over Japan.

Water is boiled in a container having a bottom of surface area $25cm^2$, thickness $1.0mm$ and thermal conductivity $50\text{wm}^{-1}{^{\circ}}\text{C}^{-1}.$ 100g of water is converted into steam per minute in the steady state after the boiling starts. Assuming that no heat is lost to the atmosphere, calculate the temperature of the lower surface of the bottom. Latent heat of vaporization of water $=0.26\times10^6\text{Jkg}^{-1}.$
