Acylinder with a valve at the bottom is filled with an ideal gas. the valve is now opened and some of the gas escapes slowly. the valve is then closed, after which the piston is observed to be at a lower position. assume that the system is in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings at all times.

a) is the final pressure of the gas in the cylinder greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure? explain.

explain how your answer is consistent with the forces acting on the piston in the initial and final states.

b) in this process, which of the quantities p, v, n, and t are held constant and which are allowed to change?

c) consider the following incorrect student statement.

"in the ideal gas law, p=nrt/v, so the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume. if you decrease the volume, the pressure has to go up."

what is the flaw in the student's reasoning?

d) explain why it is not possible to use the ideal gas law to determine whether the pressure changed in this process.

Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. thinking only about the first part of the question, mass, what might be a hypothesis that would illustrate the relationship between mass and kinetic energy? use the format of "if…then…because…” when writing your hypothesis.

Antireflective coatings on solar cells are often made by applying a thin film of silicon nitride (sinx), which has an index of refractive of 1.2, on the top of the silicon solar cell, which has a refractive index of about 3.5. however, the sun emits radiation of various wavelengths which the solar cell absorbs, and the antireflective coating can only absolutely minimize the reflection of one of these wavelengths. the coating thickness is chosen to reduce the reflection of green/yellow light (e = 2.2 ev), which is the most intense color in the solar spectrum (shown below). which of the following coatings would minimize reflection of green/yellow light? the answer is 820 nm how? what is the angular width of the central maximum of an electron traveling at 2 x 108 m/s going through a single slit of width 1 mm.
