How much heat Q H QH does a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 2.10 2.10 deliver when supplied with 1.82 kJ 1.82 kJ

valina [46]

The operating coefficient or performance coefficient of a heat pump is the ratio between the heating or cooling provided and the electricity consumed. The higher coefficients are equivalent to lower operating costs. The coefficient can be greater than 1, because it is a percentage of the output: losses, other than the thermal efficiency ratio: input energy. Mathematically can be written as,

$\text{Coefficient of performance} = \frac{\text{Heat extracted}}{\text{Electrical energy supplied}}$

$COP = \frac{Q}{E}\rightarrow Q =COP\times E$

Replacing,

$Q = 2.1\times 1.82kJ$

$Q = 3.822kJ$

Therefore the heat is 3.822kJ

Match the indices of refraction with the corresponding effects on the waves.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

B) waves speed up

C) waves bend away from the normal

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in that medium:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in the medium

We can re-arrange this equation as:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

So from this we already see that if the index of refraction is lower, the speed of light in the medium will be higher, so one correct option is

B) waves speed up

Moreover, when light enters a medium bends according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1 ,n_2$ are the index of refraction of the 1st and 2nd medium

$\theta_1,\theta_2$ are the angles made by the incident ray and refracted ray with the normal to the interface

We can rewrite the equation as

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

So we see that if the index of refraction of the second medium is lower ( $n_2$ ), then the ratio $\frac{n_1}{n_2}$ is larger than 1, so the angle of refraction is larger than the angle of incidence:

$\theta_2>\theta_1$

This means that the wave will bend away from the normal. So the other correct option is

C) waves bend away from the normal
