Answer:

C.O.P = 1.49

W = 335.57 joules

Explanation:

C.O.P = coefficient of performance = (benefit/cost) = Qc/W ...equ 1 where C.O.P is coefficient of performance, Qc is heat from cold reservoir, w is work done on refrigerator.

Qh = Qc + W...equ 2

W = Qh - Qc ...equ 3 where What is heat entering hot reservoir.

Substituting for W in equ 1

Qh/(Qh - Qc) = 1/((Qh /Qc) -1) ..equ 4

Since the second law states that entropy dumped into hot reservoir must be already as much as entropy absorbed from cold reservoir which gives us

(Qh/Th)>= (Qc/Tc)..equ 5

Cross multiple equ 5 to get

(Qh/Qc) = (Th/Tc)...equ 6

Sub equ 6 into equation 4

C.O.P = 1/((Th/Tc) -1)...equ7

Where Th is temp of hot reservoir = 493k and Tc is temp of cold reservoir = 295k

C.O.P = 1/((493/295) - 1)

C.O.P = 1.49

To solve for W= work done on every cycle

We substitute C.O.P into equ 1

Where Qc = 500 joules

1.49 = 500/W

W = 500/1.49

W = 335.57 joules

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>​
sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays.  They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy.  They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA.  They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation.  The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.  

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays.  The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up.  Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
