Explanation:

Efficiency is a way of describing the amount of useful ​output​ a process or machine can generate as a percentage of the ​input​ required to make it go. In other words, it compares how much energy is used to do work versus how much is lost or wasted to the environment. The more efficient the machine, the less energy wasted.

For example, if a heat engine is able to turn 75 percent of the fuel it receives into motion, while 25 percent is lost as heat in the process, it would be 75 percent efficient. Out of the original 100 percent of the fuel, 75 percent was output as useful work.  

the equation:

energy efficiency =useful output energy/total input energy

Green light (λ = 518 nm) strikes a single slit at normal incidence. What width slit will produce a central maximum that is 3.00
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

The formula can be written as:

sin\theta=\frac {\lambda}{d}\times m ....1

The location of the bright fringe is determined by :

y=L\times tan\theta

Where, L is the distance between the slit and the screen.

For small angle , sin\theta=tan\theta

So,  

Formula becomes:

y=L\times sin\theta

Using 1, we get:

y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times m

Thus, the distance between the central maximum is 3.00 cm

First bright fringe , m = 1 occur at 3.00 / 2 = 1.50 cm

Since,

1 cm = 0.01 m

y = 0.0150 m

Given L = 2.00 m

λ = 518 nm

Since, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

λ = 518 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying the formula as:

0.0150\ m=2.00\ m\times \frac {518\times 10^{-9}\ m}{d}\times 1

<u>⇒ d, distance between the slits = 6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m</u>

A car battery has a rating of 250 ampere-hours. This rating is one indication of the total charge that the battery can provide t
Serga [27]

Answer:

Total charge provided by the battery could be 900000 C.

Maximum current provided by the battery for 37 minutes could be 405.405 A

Explanation:

Rating= 250 A-h

a. Total charge:

Rating=Q/t\\Q=Rating.t\\

Suppose t=1h

Q=250 A(1h)\\Q=250 A(3600 sec)\\Q= 900000 A.sec

We konw that Ampere=\frac{Coulomb}{sec}, replacing:

Q=900000(\frac{Coulomb}{sec})(sec)\\Q=900000 Coulomb

Total charge provided by the battery could be 900000 C.

b. Maximum current for 37 minutes

I=\frac{Q}{t} \\I=\frac{900000 C}{37*60 sec}\\I=405.405 A

Maximum current provided by the battery for 37 minutes could be 405.405 A

Given that the frequency of an EM wave is 4THz, what is its wavelength?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The wavelength of the EM wave is 7.5 * 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave is related to its wavelength by the following formula;

velocity = wavelength * frequency

For an electromagnetic (EM) wave, its velocity is equal to the velocity of light, c = 3.0 * 10⁸ m/s

Given that the frequency and veloity of the given EM wave in the question is known, its wavelength is calculated as follows:

wavelength = velocity/frequency

where velocity of the EM wave = 3.0 * 10⁸ m/s;

frequency = 4THz = 4 * 10¹² Hz

wavelength = 3.0 * 10⁸m/s / 4 * 10¹² Hz

wavelength = 7.5 * 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the EM wave is 7.5 * 10⁻⁴ m
