A wall in a house contains a single window. The window consists of a single pane of glass whose area is 0.13 m2 and whose thickness is 3 mm. Treat the wall as a slab of the insulating material Styrofoam whose area and thickness are 18 m2 and 0.15 m, respectively. Heat is lost via conduction through the wall and the window. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is the same for the wall and the window. Of the total heat lost by the wall and the window, what is the percentage lost by the window? Percentage lost by window = Number Units the tolerance is +/-2%

Monochromatic light (λ = 500 nm) is incident on a soap bubble (n = 1.40). What is the wavelength of the light (in nm) in the bubble film? Select one: O a. 255 O b. 700 O c. 357 O d. 422 O e. 500
The air temperature above coastal areas is profoundly influenced by the large specific heat of water. One reason is that the energy released when 1 cubic meter of water cools by 1.0°C will raise the temperature of an enormously larger volume of air by 1.0°C. Estimate that volume of air. The specific heat of air is approximately 1.0 kJ/kg ? °C. Take the density of air to be 1.3 kg/m3.
