a.

The heat the engine <em>extracts </em>from its heat source in each cycle is 3.79 × 10⁴ J

The efficiency of the Carnot engine, ε = W/Q where W = work done per cycle = 2.5 × 10⁴ J and Q = heat extracted in each cycle.

Making Q subject of the formula, we have

Q = W/ε

Since ε = 66% = 0.66, we substitute the values of the variables into the equation for Q.

So, Q = W/ε

Q = 2.5 × 10⁴ J/0.66

Q = 3.79 × 10⁴ J

So, the heat the engine <em>extracts </em>from its heat source in each cycle is 3.79 × 10⁴ J

b.

The temperature of its heat source is 588.76 °C

Also, the efficiency of the Carnot engine, ε = 1 - T/T' where T = temperature of exhaust heat = 20° C = 273 + 20 = 293 K and T' = temperature of heat source.

Making T' subject of the formula, we have

T' = T/(1 - ε)

Since ε = 66 % = 0.66

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T' = T/(1 - ε)

T' = 293 K/(1 - 0.66)

T = 293 K/0.34

T = 861.76 K

We convert this to Celsius.

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = T(K) - 273

T(°C) = 861.76 - 273

T(°C) = 588.76 °C

So, the temperature of its heat source is 588.76 °C

Unpolarizedlight of intensity I_0 is incident on three polarizingfilters. The axis of the first is vertical, that of the secondi
Marina86 [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the law of Malus which describe the intensity of light passing through a polarizer. Mathematically this law can be described as:

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_0 = Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

I = Resulting intensity

\theta= Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light

From the law of Malus when the light passes at a vertical angle through the first polarizer its intensity is reduced by half therefore

I_1= \frac{I_0}{2}

In the case of the second polarizer the angle is directly 60 degrees therefore

I_2 = I_1 cos^2\theta

I_2 = (\frac{I_0}{2} ) cos^2(60)

I_2 = 0.125I_0

In the case of the third polarizer, the angle is reflected on the perpendicular, therefore, its angle of index would be

\theta_3 = 90-60 = 30

Then,

I_3 = I_2 cos^2\theta_3

I_3 = 0.125I_0 cos^2 (30)

I_3 = 0.09375I_0

Then the intensity at the end of the polarized lenses will be equivalent to 0.09375 of the initial intensity.
