Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

Q_H

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

Q_C>0

That is why the answer will be

Q_H ,Q_C>0

abruzzese [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Bandwidth of a laser source, f=30\ GHz=30\times 10^9\ Hz

(b) Let t is the time separation of sections of sections of the light wave that can still interfere. The time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T=\dfrac{1}{30\times 10^9}

T=3.33\times 10^{-11}\ s

(a) Let h is the coherence length of the source. It is given by :

l=c\times T

c is the speed of light

l=3\times 10^8\times 3.33\times 10^{-11}

l = 0.0099 m

Hence, this is the required solution.
