Answer:
First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator
Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).
The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.
Answer:
2.13 x 10^-19 J or 0.53 eV
Explanation:
cut off wavelength, λo = 700 nm = 700 x 10^-9 m
λ = 400 nm = 400 x 10^-9 m
Use the energy equation
Where, K be the work function
K = 2.13 x 10^-19 J
K = 0.53 eV
Answer:
73.13°
Explanation:
According to snell's law,
n1sinθi = n2sinθr
n1/n2 = sinθr/sinθi
Critical angle is the angle of incidence at the denser medium when the angle of incidence at the less dense medium is 90°
This means i=C and r = 90°
The Snell's law formula will become
n1/n2 = sinC/sin90°
n2/n1 = 1/sinC
Where n1 is the refractive index of the less dense medium = 1.473
n2 is the refractive index of the denser medium = 1.540
Substituting the values in the formula,
1.540/1.473 = 1/sinC
1.045 = 1/sinC
SinC = 1/1.045
SinC = 0.957
C = sin^-1(0.957)
C = 73.13°
