Answer: 0.8

Explanation:

The efficiency is defined as the ratio of total imput energy that is actually utilized to the end of the device.

So if we have a total transfer of 1500j of energy, and 1200j are used to heat the thing inside the kettle, 300j are not used to the actual function of the kettle.

So the efficiency is n = 1200j/1500j = 0.8

This means that a 80% of the energy imput is actually used to heat the kettle.

What is the wavelength of a radar signal that has a frequency of 27 GHz? The speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s. Answer in units of m
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

speed of light= c

wave length= L

frequency= f

c=Lf → L= c/f → L= 3 × 10⁸/ 27 × 10⁹ → L = 1/90 ≈ 0.011 m

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene
Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}....(I)

Where, \mu = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}

v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}

v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}

v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s

Hence, This is the required solution.
