Two mirrors are at right angles to one another. A light ray is incident on the first at an angle of 30° with respect to the norm
al to the surface. What is the angle of reflection from the second surface?
1 answer:
Answer:
reflected angle - secod mirror = 60°
Explanation:
I attached an image with the solution to this problem below.
In the solution the reflection law, incident angle = reflected angle, is used. Furthermore some trigonometric relation is used.
You can notice in the image that the angle of reflection in the second mirror is 60°

Answer:
(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%
Explanation:
Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as: solving to Q_out we get:
this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us:
where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:
