Temperature and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other. Surface area: As the surface area increases, the rate of evaporation increases. The surface area and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other. Humidity: The rate of evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity.
Answer:
All soft drinks contain water. When soft drink bottles are chilled in sub-zero temperatures, the water on account of its anomalous expansion expands. Thus, to provide space for expanding water, soft drink bottles are not completely filled as otherwise they will burst.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for the single-slit diffraction is
where
y is the distance of the n-minimum from the centre of the diffraction pattern
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
d is the width of the slit
is the wavelength of the light
In this problem,
, with n=2 (this is the distance of the 2nd-order minimum from the central maximum)
Solving the formula for d, we find:
Well, actually a heat engine using the Carnot cycle whose cold reservoir is maintained at 0 K could in principle be 100% efficient, even if the hot reservoir was merely at the ambient temperature. Since it costs no energy at all to maintain a heat reservoir at the ambient temperature as long as you have a perfect thermal connection to a large thermal capacitor like your swimming pool or a nearby aquifer you’d have built a perpetual motion machine.
