As a gasoline engine is running, an amount of gasoline containing 18,500 J of chemical potential energy is burned in 1 s. During that second, the engine does 3,700 J of work. (a) What is the engine's efficiency (in percent)? % (b) The burning gasoline has a temperature of about 4,400°F (2,700 K). The waste heat from the engine flows into air at about 82°F (301 K). What is the Carnot efficiency (in percent) of a heat engine operating between these two temperatures? %

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass
