Derek and Wes take a photograph of a lake at the same angle and the same time of day. Derek's picture comes out with crisp edges around objects in the photo. Wes's picture seems to blur the outlines of objects due to glare. Which wave phenomenon best explains the differences between the pictures?

An air-standard stirling cycle operates with a maximum pressure of 600 psia and a minimum pressure of 10 psia. the maximum volume of the air is 10 times the minimum volume. the temperature during the heat rejection process is 100°f. calculate the specific heat added to and rejected by this cycle, as well as the net specific work produced by the cycle. use constant specific heats at room temperature. the properties of air at room temperature are r

Aplane flies directly between two cities, a and b, which are separated by . from a to b, the plane flies into a headwind. on the return trip from b to a, the wind velocity is unchanged. the trip from b to a takes less than the trip from a to b. what is the airspeed of the plane, assuming it is the same in both directions

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?
