I often make tea in my microwave oven. I know that it takes two minutes to bring the temperature of a cup of water from room temperature to just about boiling: ready for the teabag. I looked up the characteristics of a microwave oven. Typically their power rating is about 1000 W, but I know that this is the power consumed from the power company, not the power delivered to the water. I looked up the efficiency of microwave ovens, and found that it is about 64%, meaning that a typical oven delivers 640 W to the water. I also looked up the frequency of the microwaves that an oven uses, and found thatf= 2,450 MHz. (a) How much energy is delivered to the water in the making of a cup of tea? (b) What is the wavelength of the microwave? (c) What is the energy of one microwave photon? (d) How many microwave photons are absorbed by the water in making a cup of tea?

Solar energy stored in large bodies of water, called solar ponds, is being used to generate electricity. If such a solar power plant has an efficiency of 3 percent and a net power output of 180 kW, determine the average value of the required solar energy collection rate, in Btu/h.
Electric energy is to be stored at a station in which 5000 condensers are connected in parallel. The capacity of each condenser is 200 μF. The system is to be charged to a P.D. of 50 kilovolt with a power supply which costs at a rate of Rs 1 per kilowatt hour. Calculate the cost of storing.
A hot water heater in a residential home runs for an average of 2.2 hours per day with a heat energy input of 3.7 kW. What would be the annual cost for hot water in this home using a gas hot water heater if the cost of natural gas is $0.33/m3? The gas water heater can get 23 MJ of energy from 1 m3 of natural gas.
