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.

otez555 [7]
According to snells law 

<span>n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2
</span>n1  = 1.333 (water)
<span>n2  = 2.42 (diamond)</span>
 it is given that theta =30 degrees so 
by putting the values we have 

<span>1.333 sin theta = 2.42 sin 30 </span>

<span>sin theta = (2.42/1.333) *0.5 =65.2 degree
</span>so our conclusion is 

<span>the ray's angle of incidence θ1 on the diamond</span> = 65.2 degree.
hope this helps

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

In a series circuit, there is only one path for current to take. 
If more bulbs are added, then the same current loses more energy,
making heat and light on its way through more bulbs, so the ones that
were there before become dimmer.
