What happens to infrared radiation when it comes to contact wih a shiny suface

If a surface looks "shiny" to you, that's because it reflects all
or most of the visible light that hits it.  That doesn't always mean
that the same surface reflects other, non-visible wavelengths of
light.  Infrared radiation may also reflect off of it, and probably
does.  But you can't be sure just because it's visibly shiny.

If you didn't know, some surfaces are better than others at absorbing and reflecting infrared radiation.If infrared radiation comes in contact with a shiny surface the shiny surface reflects the radiation.(shiny surfaces are the best reflectors). Hope this helps you :D

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.

A Carnot engine operates with an efficiency of 26.0% when the temperature of its cold reservoir is 281 K. Assuming that the temp
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%

Explanation:

In first case we have given efficiency of Carnot engine = 26 % = 0.26

Temperature of cold reservoir T_L=281K

We know that efficiency of Carnot engine is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

0.26 =1-\frac{281}{T_H}

T_H=379.72K

For second Carnot engine efficiency is given as 35% = 0.35

And temperature of hot reservoir is same so T_H=379.72K

So 0.35=1-\frac{T_L}{379.72}

T_L=246.818K

So the temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%
