How is energy measured?

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

As we know that in transformers we have

$\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

here we know that

$V_s = 17,500 Volts$

$V_p = 350,000 Volts$

$N_s = 600 coils$

now from above equation we will have

$\frac{17500}{350000} = \frac{600}{N_p}$

$N_p = 600\times \frac{350000}{17500}$

$N_p = 12000 coils$

Answer:

$\lambda= 506.25 nm$

Explanation:

Diffraction is observed when a wave is distorted by an obstacle whose dimensions are comparable to the wavelength. The simplest case corresponds to the Fraunhofer diffraction, in which the obstacle is a long, narrow slit, so we can ignore the effects of extremes.

This is a simple case, in which we can use the Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

$y=\frac{m \lambda D}{a}$

Where:
