What explains why a prism separates white light into a light spectrum? A. The white light, on encountering the prism, undergoes both reflection and refraction; some of the reflected rays re-enter the prism merging with refracted rays changing their frequencies.
B. The white light, on entering a prism, undergoes several internal reflections, forming different colors.
C. The different colors that make up a white light have different refractive indexes in glass.
D. The different colors that make up a white light are wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye until they pass through the prism.
E. The different rays of white light interfere in the prism, forming various colors.

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
