Physics

adoni [48]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

in a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases.

Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of of the degree of  randomness or disorderliness in a system.

The second law of thermodynamics can be stated as follows; "in any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases."  

The universe here refers to the system's disorder and the disorder of the surroundings.  Therefore, a spontaneous process can occur, in which the entropy of the system decreases, only if the entropy increases in the surroundings.

For instance, when ice freezes, the entropy of liquid water decreases, that is, the entropy of the system decreases. However, heat is given off to the surroundings and the entropy of the surroundings increases. This is an obvious expression of this law.

Fill in a T/F answer for each statement below. If false, correct the statement to make it true.:
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's answer these statements

.1) True. This is the law of reflection.

.2) False. The speed of light depends on the index of refraction n = c / v

           v = c / n

.3) True. The frequency creates a forced oscillation, whereby the atoms re-emit at the same incident frequency

.4) False. The index of refraction is a measure of the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the material environment, the ability to change the trajectory is given by the law of refraction

.5) True. True due to the change in beam trajectory due to the law of refraction

.6 False. The phenomenon occurs when you pass from a medium with a higher index to one with a lower ratio, because the refracted beam separates from the normal

.7) True.

.8) False so that the lightning approach is valid Lam >> d,

.9) True.
