The radiant energy was absorbed by the wax coating on the plant is determined as 92.4 J.

Heat absorbed by the wax

The heat absorbed by the wax is determined as follows;

Q = mcΔT

where;

  • m is mass of the wax
  • c is specific heat capacity
  • ΔT is change in temperature

Q = 0.0055 x 2400 x (22 - 15)

Q = 92.4 J

Thus, the radiant energy was absorbed by the wax coating on the plant is determined as 92.4 J.
