Ray Optics: Refraction

Q- An opaque container is 15 cm deep. It contains only a single coin. When looking into the container at a viewing angle of 50o relative to the vertical side of the container, you see nothing on the bottom. When the container is filled with water, you see the coin (from the same viewing angle) on th…

Thermodynamics

Q- 15 kg of air in a piston cylinder device is heated inside the cylinder from 250C to 750C by passing current through a resistance heater inside the cylinder. The pressure inside the cylinder is kept constant at 2 bar during the process and the heat loss of 50 kJ occurs. Determine the electrical en…
