Dear anurag bhattacharjee,

Dulong and Petit''s law states that,

 
" The specific heat of elementary substances is in their inverse ratio to their atomic weights."

 

This is the relation between the Specific heat Capacity of a substance and its atomic mass.

 

Hope this helped you immensely..!!

All the Very Best & Good Luck to you ...!
