An interesting problem came up in my research a few weeks ago, and today you will help me solve it! When discussing the change of temperature in a body, one uses the equation: Where Q is the heat (energy) transferred, c is the specific heat of the substance, m is the mass of the substance, and is the change of temperature due to the energy transfer. When I bombard a material with an ion beam, I transfer heat to it through the means of scattering. In my research, I would like to bombard liquid water with an ion beam! Suppose I have 3.45 * 10-13 grams of liquid water, with a specific heat of 4.184 J/gK, and I bombard it with an ion beam with an energy of 10 MeV or 1.602 * 10-12 J. Suppose the water absorbs all the energy of the ion beam, what would be the temperature increase of the sample for each ion bombarded?
