Answer: A. 200J

Therefore, the workdone by the heat engine is 200J

Explanation:

Given ;

The efficiency of the heat engine is E = 20% = 0.2

Heat loss L= 800J

For an heat engine the efficiency is measured by the amount of workdone by the heat engine when compared to the heat generated.

Efficiency E = workdone/heat generated × 100%

Heat generated G= workdone W + heat loss L

G = W + L

According to the question.

W = 20% of G

W = 0.2G ......1

L = 80% of G

L = 0.8G

G = L/0.8 ......2

Substituting equation 2 to 1

W = 0.2(L/0.8)

And L = 800J

W = 0.2(800/0.8)

W = 200J

Therefore, the workdone by the heat engine is 200J

The fundamental resolution of an optical instrument is set by __________.
inysia [295]

Answer:C . The wave nature of light.

Explanation: The wave nature of light has been described in the refraction and diffraction of light when it comes in contact with a prism.

Wave nature of light has been described through this equation C= velocity( measured in meters per second square), Wavelength (lambda) which is the distance between successive antinodes or nodes,it is measured in meters. and Frequency is the number of times light waves pass through a point in one second, usually measured in Hertz(Hz)

Below is a

Thin-lens equation (also works for mirrors)

1/f=1/u+1/v

Where f is the focal length, u is distance of object,v is the distance between the optical centre and the image of the object.

How does a generator convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

A generator is a device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

The armature coil of the generator rotates by using the mechanical energy. As the armature of the generator rotates, the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes. When the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes, an induced emf is developed.

the magnitude of the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
