Addendum. Found a partial answer in this paper: Coherence properties of different light sources and their effect on the image sharpness and speckle of holographic displays

A fairly focused beam of light incident on a CD projects a clearly visible interference pattern onto a screen. May I infer that it has good (or at least enough) spatial coherence? This property is evident, for example, in a lens-focused beam of light produced by a LED or by a ray of sunlight...

Back again, just a bit. In first problems about calorimetry, we usually do not deal with volumes, but only with moles and masses. Yet, vaporization takes place at a definite pressure. So, if I understand correctly your hint, we can still define a work in the expansion even if it occurs (for...

Ok. The first link you posted states it very clearly. Many thanks.

In working out the Clausius-Clapeyron equation in an elementary method, we usually consider the work done in a Carnot cycle, built with two isothermobarics at ##p## , ##T## and ##p- dp##,##T-dT## pressures and temperatures and two adiabatics, as ##\mathcal{L} = dp(V_g - V_\ell)##, where ##V_g##...
