Answer:
The star is at a distance of 100 parsecs.
Explanation:
The distance can be determined by means of the distance modulus:
(1)
Where M is the absolute magnitude, m is the apparent magnitude and d is the distance in units of parsec.
Therefore, d can be isolated from equation 1
Then, Applying logarithmic properties it is gotten:
(2)
The absolute magnitude is the intrinsic brightness of a star, while the apparent magnitude is the apparent brightness that a star will appear to have as is seen from the Earth.
Since both have the same spectral type is absolute magnitude will be the same.
Finally, equation 2 can be used:
Hence, the star is at a distance of 100 parsecs.
Key term:
Parsec: Parallax of arc seconds
Answer:
After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.
Answer:
Explanation:
The Carnot cycle is a special case of a thermodynamic cycle that produces an ideal gas and consists of two isothermal processes and two adiabatic processes. This cycle is a theoretical solution given by Sadi Karnot to refine heat engines for their efficient use.
The formula for the coefficient of efficiency is:
η = (Q₁ - Q₂) / Q₁ = (T₁ - T₂) / T₁
Where Q₁ is is the amount of heat of the heater supplied to the working body and Q₂ is the amount of heat that the working body transfers to the refrigerator according to this T₁ is the temperature of the heater T₂ is the temperature of the refrigerator.
This formula provides a theoretical limit for the maximum value of the coefficient of efficiency of heat engines.

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in the internal energy of a system equals the net heat transfer into the system minus the net work done by the system. This is another way of saying that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another form.
A tea kettle that is warmed on an electric stove is receiving heat energy, this heat energy increases the kinetic energy of the water particles in the kettle and makes them to move faster. As time goes on, the water begins to turn into vapors. The heat energy that is released into the system is been used to carry out the work of evaporation and the whistling of the kettle.
