If two objects are in thermal equilibrium, do they have the same thermal or internal energy?

Answer:

Yes, they do have the same internal energy.

Explanation:

The thermal balance refers to when there is no heat transfer between the bodies and their surroundings i.e. the bodies and the environment are at the same temperature.

Suppose two bodies of different masses and different materials, each one of them is at a temperature of 25(° C), which is the same temperature as the temperature of the environment, if these two bodies are close to each other, there is also heat transfer as they are at the same temperature, in the absence of any type of energy that enter or exit in these bodies, the amount of internal energy will be equal in both bodies.

Note: when the internal energy of one of these bodies is increased, heat transfer will happen, always looking for the thermal balance.

allsm [11]

This question is incomplete, the complete question;

you make an interferometer using 50-50 beam splitter and two mirrors, one being a perfect mirror and one which does not reflect all light. The wavelength of the 9 mW incident laser is 400 nm.

Because the top mirror is not perfectly reflective (it reflects 90% of the photons, allowing 10% of them to go through), the power measured at the detector when only the vertical arm is blocked is 2.25 mW, while the power measured at the detector when only the horizontal arm is blocked is only 2.025 mW. Assume initially the intensity is at its maximum. How much would we need to translate the perfect mirror to the right to get a minimum intensity at detector, and what is that minimum intensity

Options;

a) 200 nm; 0.9 mW

b) 100 nm, 0.0059 mW

c) 200 nm; 0 mW

d) 100 nm; 0.9 mW

e) 200 nm; 0.0059 mW

Answer:

the amount we need to translate the perfect mirror to the right to get a minimum intensity at detector  and the minimum intensity are;

100 nm; 0.0059 mW

Option b) 100 nm, 0.0059 mW is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that the instrument here is an interferometer.

Maximum intensity is obtained when the two waves are exactly in phase.

that is the peaks (crusts and troughs) and nodes (zero value points) of the two waves will be at the exact same point when the wave falls on the detector.

The phase factor of this point is taken as ∅ = 0

Now, to get a minimum point, the phase difference between the two waves should be should be ∅ = π

This corresponds to a path difference between the two waves as half of the wavelength. λ/2

The light gets reflected from the mirror.

Hence, when we move the mirror by a length l, the extra/less path the light has to travel is 2l (light is going and coming back)

hence, to get a path difference of λ/2 the mirror should move half of this distance only

so, the mirror should move;

l = λ/4

here, wavelength is 400nm

the length moved by the mirror = 400/4 = 100 nm

The intensity is given by the equation;

l = l1 + l2 + 2√l1l2cos(∅)

where

l1 = 2.25 mW

l2 = 2.025 mW

∅ = π

so we substitute

l = 2.25 + 2.025 - 2√(2.25 × 2.025)

l = 4.275 - 4.26907

l = 0.0059

Therefore; the amount we need to translate the perfect mirror to the right to get a minimum intensity at detector  and the minimum intensity are;

100 nm; 0.0059 mW

Option b) 100 nm, 0.0059 mW is the correct answer

What is the new current?
nikdorinn [45]
Voltage = current x resistance
since R is doubled, current must reduce by half.
So,
new current = 120/2 = 60mA

What is the flow rate of water in a pipe flowing full with an area of 0.3 m2 and velocity of 2.5 m/s?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

0.75 m³/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = vA.................... Equation 1

Where Q = flow rate of the water, v = velocity of the water, A = area of the pipe.

From the question,

Given: v = 2.5 m/s, A = 0.3 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 2.5(0.3)

Q = 0.75 m³/s

Hence the flow rate of water in the pipe is 0.75 m³/s
