(about solid state physics, optical communication)
The main principle of optical communication is the concept of total reflection. I wonder if the total reflection is based on particle property of light, or wave property of it.

The total reflection is the concept of refraction and reflection. I know that refraction and reflection of light are all properties that correspond to the particle and wave of light.(I mean, Particle property of light can explain refraction and reflection, and Wave property of light too.)
So.. Is it right if total reflection is using(based on) both particle and wave properties of light???

A mass of 3 kg of water at 50oC has been heated to vapour at a temperature of 125oC in an oven. The specific heat capacities for water in the form of liquid (Cw), solid (Cice) and gas (Cv) are 4.187 kJ.kg-1.K-1, 2.108 kJ.kg-1.K-1, and 1.996 kJ.kg-1.K-1, respectively. Also, latent heats of fusion and vaporization are given as 3.33 x 105 J.kg-1 and 2.22 x 103 J.kg-1, respectively. NB: Number your answers correctly!

(a) What would be the entropy of water in the form of liquid, SL? (5)

(b) Calculate the entropy of the system when it changes its state/phase to vapour, Sv. (3)

(c) Compute the total entropy, STotal, of water between 50 oC and 125 oC. (5)

fred places two circular loops of conducting wire, one large (radius R) and one small (radius r),
on a horizontal table such that they are centred at the same point. He arranges the larger loop
to carry a constant current I clockwise (when viewed from above). In order to induce a current
in the smaller loop, fred then lifts the smaller loop vertically upwards at a constant speed v,
without changing its orientation.
1 - Explain why fred is correct to expect an induced current in the smaller loop, and determine which way this current will flow.
2 - Show that the emf induced in the small loop is approximately
E = (U_03IR^2v/2z^4)*PIr^2
where z is the height above the table. You may use the result that the magnetic field
along the z-axis produced by the large loop is B = µ_0IR^2/2z^3. Make sure to explain,
with the aid of a diagram, the simplifying assumptions you need to make.
3 - Meanwhile sam, who is also in the room, happens to be levitating upwards at the same
velocity as the small loop. Thus the small loop is stationary in her frame. Explain,
from sam’s point of view, why she should also expect to see an induced emf in the small
loop. Your explanation should comment on the differences between fred’s and sam’s
description of the cause of the emf and explain how it is that they can both be correct.
