Answer:

The number is  Z = 216 \ fringes

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The wavelength is  \lambda  =  520 \ nm =  520 *10^{-9} \ m

       The length of the glass plates is y  = 21.1cm = 0.211 \ m

      The distance between the plates (radius of wire ) =  d =  0.028 mm  =  2.8 *10^{-5} \  m

   Generally the condition for constructive  interference in a film is mathematically represented as

            2 *  t  = [m +  \frac{1}{2}  ]\lambda

Where  t is the thickness of the separation between the glass i.e  

    t  = 0 at the edge where the glasses are touching each other and  

     t =  2d at the edge where the glasses are separated by the wire  

   m is the order of the fringe it starts from  0, 1 , 2 ...

So  

       2 *  2 * d   = [m +  \frac{1}{2}  ] 520 *10^{-9}

=>   2 *  2 *   (2.8 *10^{-5}) = [m +  \frac{1}{2}  ] 520 *10^{-9}

=>    

       m = 215

given that we start counting m from zero

   it means that the number of  bright fringes that would appear is

         Z =  m + 1

=>    Z =  215 +1

=>     Z = 216 \ fringes

What is the difference between the B-field and the H-field?
Simora [160]
The H field is in units of amps/meter.  It is sometimes called the auxiliary field. It describes the strength (or intensity) of a magnetic field. The B field is the magnetic flux density.  It tells us how dense the field is.  If you think about a magnetic field as a collection of magnetic field lines, the B field tells us how closely they are spaced together. These lines (flux linkages) are measured in a unit called a Weber (Wb).  This is the analog to the electric charge, the Coulomb.  Just like electric flux density (the D field, given by D=εE) is Coulombs/m²,  The B field is given by Wb/m², or Tesla.  The B field is defined to be μH, in a similar way the D field is defined.  Thus B is material dependent.  If you expose a piece of iron (large μ) to an H field, the magnetic moments (atoms) inside will align in the field and amplify it.  This is why we use iron cores in electromagnets and transformers.
So if you need to measure how much flux goes through a loop, you need the flux density times the area of the loop Φ=BA.  The units work out like 
Φ=[Wb/m²][m²]=[Wb], which is really just the amount of flux.  The H field alone can't tell you this because without μ, we don't know the "number of field" lines that were caused in the material (even in vacuum) by that H field.  And the flux cares about the number of lines, not the field intensity.
I'm way into magnetic fields, my PhD research is in this area so I could go on forever.   I have included a picture that also shows M, the magnetization of a material along with H and B.  M is like the polarization vector, P, of dielectric materials. If you need more info let me know but I'll leave you alone for now!

A plane travels 350 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 125 km/h to the south. The plane has a 30 minute
faust18 [17]
Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

1st part of journey,  350 km at velocity 125 km/h

Time = 350 / 125 = 2.8 hours.

2nd part of journey,  220 km at velocity 115 km/h

Time = 220 / 115 = 1.9 hours


Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

                               = (350 + 220) / (2.8 + 1.9)

                                =   570 / 4.7  ≈ 121.3 km/hr

Average Velocity ≈ 121 km/hr due south.

A roller coaster car of mass m= 300 kg is released from rest at the top of a 60 m high hill (position A), and rolls with a negli
Andrews [41]

Answer: The principle of conservation of energy, angular speed and centripetal force

Explanation:

At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy

As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .

Agri-Chem's contract with Enerco specified a maximum of 90,000 cu.ft. X 103 per day for its complexes. However, curtailments are
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Caustic soda would be least affected by a gas curtailment

Explanation:

Let,

X1= ammonia

X2= ammonium phosphate

X3= ammonium nitrate

X4 = Urea

X5= hydro-fluoric acid

X6= Chlorine

X7= Caustic soda

X8= Vinyl chloride monomer.

Agri chem’s current natural gas usage

= (1200 × 8 + 540 × 10 + 490 × 12 + …)                  

= 85,680,000 cu. ft. per day  

When, the curtailment is 20%, availability is

= 0.8 X  85,680

= 68,554,000 cu. ft. per day

Therefore, the gas constant

= 8X1 + 10X2 + 12X3 + 12X4 + 7X5 + 18X6 + 20X7 + 14X8 ≤68,544

When, the curtailment is 40% availability is

= 0.6 X 85,680

= 51,408,000 cu. ft. per day

Constant = 8X1 + 10X2 + 12X3 + 12X4 + 7X5 + 18X6 + 20X7 + 14X8≤ 51,408

Question 8
viktelen [127]

Answer: D(t) = 8.e^{-0.4t}.cos(\frac{\pi }{6}.t )

Explanation: A harmonic motion of a spring can be modeled by a sinusoidal function, which, in general, is of the form:

y = a.sin(\omega.t) or y = a.cos(\omega.t)

where:

|a| is initil displacement

\frac{2.\pi}{\omega} is period

For a Damped Harmonic Motion, i.e., when the spring doesn't bounce up and down forever, equations for displacement is:

y=a.e^{-ct}.cos(\omega.t) or y=a.e^{-ct}.sin(\omega.t)

For this question in particular, initial displacement is maximum at 8cm, so it is used the cosine function:

y=a.e^{-ct}.cos(\omega.t)

period = \frac{2.\pi}{\omega}

12 = \frac{2.\pi}{\omega}

ω = \frac{\pi}{6}

Replacing values:

D(t)=8.e^{-0.4t}.cos(\frac{\pi}{6} .t)

The equation of displacement, D(t), of a spring with damping factor is D(t)=8.e^{-0.4t}.cos(\frac{\pi}{6} .t).
