In an earlier physics course you learned about waves (sound waves, waves on the strings of musical instruments, etc.). Describe the main difference between longitudinal waves and transverse waves.(2 pts)Based on what you have learned in the lecture part of the course, which of these two types is an electromagnetic wave(2 pts)

The de broglie relation λ=h/p can be rewritten in terms of the wave number k as p=kℏ. recall that wave number is defined by k=2π/λ. using the fact that λ=v/f, find the wave numbers k1 and k2 corresponding to frequencies f1 and f2. express your answer as two expressions

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

Asystematic approach to problem solving is called a (an)
