Entropy is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In 1850, Entropy introduction by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius refers a measurement of the system's thermal energy in unit temperature. It is not for useful work because the work originates from ordered molecular motions. And, this also measures the molecular disturbance or randomness of the system.

The concept behind this provides deep view into spontaneous changes in many everyday phenomena’s. The idea of entropy is a mathematical way of coding an intuitive idea whose processes are impossible, and not violate the basic principle of energy conservation.

White light containing the wavelengths between 420 and 720 nm traveling in the air falls on a thin layer n1 = 1.5 and a thicknes
alukav5142 [94]

The wavelength of the light that are not reflected in the air is,

 λ5= 600 nm, λ6= 500 nm, λ7=428 nm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • For the above problem, we have the case as no<n1 and n2 < n1 .
  • so we have(1<1.5;1.4<1.5)To find the wavelengths of the light that is not reflected in the air.
  • Since the phase changes are not common on both the surfaces/
  • we have the formula,   λ=2d n²/m          ( where m=1,2,3,4,5...)
  • solving the problem we get,
  • λ5= 600 nm, λ6= 500 nm, λ7=428 nm
  • The wavelength of the light that are not reflected in the air is,

         λ5= 600 nm, λ6= 500 nm, λ7=428 nm.

Elle is playing with a ball in a bus that moves in a straight line with constant velocity. What can you say about the motion of
kramer
Given that they are all on the same bus that is travelling in a straight line at the same velocity, when Elle throws the ball directly upwards, the ball will simply fall back to her. This is because the bus, Elle, and the ball are all travelling in the same direction and at the same speed. Among the choices, the correct answer is A.

Problem 9: Suppose you wanted to charge an initially uncharged 85 pF capacitor through a 75 MΩ resistor to 90.0% of its final vo
Bingel [31]

Answer:

t=14.678\times 10^{-3}s

Explanation:

Given:

Capacitance, C = 85 pF = 85 × 10⁻¹² F

Resistance, R = 75 MΩ = 75×10⁶Ω

Charge in capacitor at any time 't' is given as:

Q=Q_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})

where,

Q₀ = Maximum charge = CE

E = Initial voltage

t = time

also, Q = CV

V= Final voltage = 90% of E = 0.9E

thus, we have

C\times 0.9E=CE(1-e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}})

or

0.9=1-e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}}

or

e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}}=1-0.9=0.1

taking log both sides, we get

ln(e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}})=ln(0.1)=ln(\frac{1}{10})

or

-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}=-ln(10)

or

t=75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}\times ln{10}

or

t=14.678\times 10^{-3}s
