    Question on Thermodynamics (adiabatic and isothermal expansions)

    Homework Statement A cubic metre of air at 0degreesC and 1 atm is compressed reversibly to 10 atm. (a) What is the final temperature if it is compressed adiabatically? (b) How much heat must be removed if it is compressed isothermally? I understand what the two different terms...

    A question on electromagnetic waves (I think)

    "Show that spherical dust grains within the Solar System which have a radius less than a critical radius r will be repelled by the sun, whilst those with a radius greater than r will be attracted towards it. Calculate r given that the mass of the sun is 2x10^30kg, its luminosity is 4x10^26W and...
