Answer:

37.5 Seconds

Explanation:
Speed = frequency * Wavelength

We can find the Frequency by the information given, Frequency = waves per second .

40 Waves per second, = 40 Hz

Wavelength = 8cm
Cm = M
8cm/100 = 0.08m

Speed = 40 Hz * 0.08m
Speed = 3.2m/s

Speed = Distance / time taken
Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 120 / 3.2

Time = 37.5 seconds

A piece of glass has a thin film of gasoline floating on it. A beam of light is shining perpendicular on the film. If the wavele
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

200 nm

Explanation:

Refractive index of gasoline = 1.4

Wavelength = 560 nm

t = Thickness of film

m = Order = 1

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{560}{1.4}=400\ nm

We have the relation

2t=m\lambda\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{m\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{1\times 400}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=200\ nm

The thickness of the film is 200 nm

A flow is isentropically expanded to supersonic speeds in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The reservoir and exit pressures are 1.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Ae/A* = 1.115

Explanation:

Let the reservoir pressure be  p_0

Let the exit  pressure be p_e

Ratio of reservoir pressure and exit pressure

\frac{p_o}{p_e} = \frac{1}{0.3143}

  = 3.182

For the above value of pressure ratio

Obtain the area ratio from the isentropic flow table

Ae/A* = 1.115

The value of pressure ratio is Ae/A* = 1.115
