You are a scientist trying to develop a technology that can be used to power wrist watches. Which type of electromagnetic wave w

ould be most useful to investigate?
Gamma rays, because they are powerful and safe.
Infrared waves, because they do not produce heat and have high energy.
Ultraviolet waves, because they have moderate energy and are abundant.
Microwaves, because they are powerful and available.

Well I don't know.  Let's examine the choices one at a time:

-- Gamma rays ... NO, they are NOT safe.

-- Infrared waves ... NO, they DO produce heat.

-- Ultraviolet waves ... Maybe.  They have plenty of energy, and they're abundant in sunlight.  But unrestricted exposure to them is somewhat dangerous.  

-- Microwaves ... Maybe.  They can be generated with plenty of energy, with inexpensive devices. (They're even used, in most homes, to warm up leftover meatloaf.)  They're safe at moderate power levels, and they're actually all over the place right now.

I think my personal choice is microwaves.

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because
maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two  light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as E = mc^{2} where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

                                                      H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                      H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy

                                                      He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                       -----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                        4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

Here e_{+1} ^{0} is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e 10^{6} K

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.

The universe is the collection of galaxies, The Andromeda Galaxy has spectral lines with blue shift. The conclusion is that the Universe has stopped expanding.

<h3>What is Andromeda Galaxy?</h3>

The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral neighbor that has spectral lines showing a blue shift.

Therefore, this concludes that, the Universe has stopped expanding. This galaxy is slowly shifting towards us.

Problem:
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Total energy is constant

Explanation:

The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).

This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.

This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.

In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.

However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.
