8 0

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

$Q_H$ , $Q_C>0$

The photons of different light waves:

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: contain different amounts of energy

Explanation:

The energy $E$ of a photon is given by:

$E=h\nu$

Where:

$h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}$ is the Planck constant

$\nu$ is the frequency of the light which is inversely related to the wavelength.

Now, if we have photons of different light waves, this means we have photons with different frequencies.

As the energy of the photon depends on its frequency:

Photons of different light waves contain different amounts of energy.

During which two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

BC and DE

Explanation:

In the given figure, the velocity time graph is shown. We know that the area under v-t curve gives the displacement of the particle.

Area under AB, $d_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10=10\ m$

Area under BC, $d_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m$

Area under CD, $d_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7=7\ m$

Area under DE, $d_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m$

Area under EF, $d_5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3=3\ m$

So, form above calculations it is clear that, during BC and DE undergo equal displacement. Hence, the correct option is (c) "BC and DE = 4 meters".

How many lines per mm are there in the diffraction grating if the second order principal maximum for a light of wavelength 536 n

grandymaker [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and the equations of destructive and constructive interference.

Constructive interference can be defined as

$dSin\theta = m\lambda$

Where

m= Any integer which represent the number of repetition of spectrum

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

d = Distance between the slits.

$\theta$ = Angle between the difraccion paterns and the source of light

Re-arrange to find the distance between the slits we have,

$d = \frac{m\lambda}{sin\theta }$

$d = \frac{2*536*10^{-9}}{sin(24)}$

$d = 2.63*10^{-6}m$

Therefore the number of lines per millimeter would be given as

$\frac{1}{d} = \frac{1}{2.63*10^{-6} }$

$\frac{1}{d} = 379418.5\frac{lines}{m}(\frac{10^{-3}m}{1 mm})$

$\frac{1}{d} = 379.4 lines/mm$

Therefore the number of the lines from the grating to the center of the diffraction pattern are 380lines per mm

How do the chemical properties of the halogens compare to those of the noble gases?

serg [7]

Halogens are extremely reactive elements because they need one more electron to gain a full octet of valence electrons, whereas the noble gasesare extremely unstable because they already have their full octet.
