Which TWO forms of light account for the majority of energy coming from the Sun: ultraviolet, visible, or infrared? Which of the three accounts for the least energy? Provide numbers to support your answer. 2) Consider the following debate between two students regarding the energy given off by the Student 1: I think that the Sun gives off most of its energy at ultraviolet wavelengths because ultraviolet light is more intense than visible light and you always hear about ultraviolet light causing sunburns. Student 2: Even though UV photons are more energetic than visible photons, the Sun simply gives off fewer ultraviolet photons and gives off way more visible and infrared photons. So I think that these longer wavelength photons account for most of the energy coming from the Sun. Do you agree or disagree with either or both of these students? Explain your reasoning.

Acommercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -35°c by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°c at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°c. the refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 mpa and 50°c. if the compressor consumes 3.3 kw of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load, (c) the cop, and (d) the minimum power input to the compressor for the same refrigeration load.
