Calculate δe, if the system absorbs 7.24 kj of heat from the surroundings while its volume remains constant (assume that only p−v work can be done). express your answer using three significant figures.

Two polarizers are oriented at 40∘ to each other and plane-polarized light is incident on them. if only 16 percent of the light gets through both of them, what was the initial polarization direction of the incident light?

Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than question 11 options: x-rays. ultraviolet rays. radio waves. gamma rays.

Two kilograms of air within a piston–cylinder assembly executes a carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 800 k and 300 k, respectively. the heat transfer to the air during the isothermal expansion is 60 kj. at the end of the isothermal expansion the volume is 0.4 m3. assume the ideal gas model for the air. determine the thermal efficiency, the volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, in m3, and the work during the adiabatic expansion, in kj.
