How does a heat pump resemble a refrigeration system?

Physics
1 answer:
REY [17]2 years ago
3 0
A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.

When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.

If two monochromatic light waves undergo destructive interference, the amplitude of the resultant wave is
lesya692 [45]

Answer: The amplitude is 0. (assuming that the amplitude ot both initial waves is the same)

Explanation:

When two monochromatic light waves of the same wavelength and same amplitude undergo destructive interference, means that the peak of one of the waves coincides with the trough of the other, so the waves "cancel" each other in that point in space.

Then if two light waves undergo destructive interference, the amplitude of the resultant wave in that particular point is 0.

PIT_PIT [208]
From A to B its 5 ohm.
above shown 6 and 12 ohm resistors are in parallel to short circuit hence their equivalent resistance is zero.
(Current doesnt flow through a resisstor if there is a Short circuit alternate.

How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound wave is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{A}

P is power

A is area

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

or

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}, r is distance from the source

If the distance from the  source is increased by a factor of 4, r' = 4r

So,

I'=\dfrac{1}{r'^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{(4r)^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{1}{r^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{I}{16}

So, the new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.
