Explanation:
The thermal efficiency (η) of a reversible Carnot engine depends exclusively on the absolute temperatures of the hot source (T1) and the cold sink (T2). The formula is η = 1 - (T2/T1), or (T1 - T2) / T1. Temperatures must be in Kelvin. It shows no engine can be 100% efficient unless the sink is at absolute zero.
Explanation:
v = c/n = 3×10⁸/2 = 1.5×10⁸ m/s. Direct refractive index application. Memory tip: 'Higher n ⇒ slower light; v = c/n'. Optics calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.
