Ahouse is losing heat at a rate of 1600 kj/h per °c temperature difference between the indoor and the outdoor temperatures. express the rate of heat loss from this house per k, °f, and r difference between the indoor and the outdoor temperature.

1600 kJ/h per K, 888.88 kJ/h per °F and 888.88kJ/h per R

Explanation:

We make use of relations between temperature scales with respect to degrees celsius:

This means that a change in one degree celsius is equivalent to a change of one kelvin, while for a degree farenheit and rankine this is equivalent to a change of 1.8 on both scales.

So:

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
