An ideal gas at temperature t0 is slowly compressed at constant pressure of 2 atm from a volume of 10 liters to a volume of 2 liters. then the volume of the gas is held constant while heat is added, raising the gas temperature back to t0. calculate the work done on the gas. 1 atm = 1.0×105 pascals and 1 liter = 0.001 m3 .

Which is not a step in the rock cycle?

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
