The lighting needs of a storage room are being met by six fluorescent light fixtures, each fixture containing four lamps rated a

t 60 W each. All the lamps are on during operating hours of the facility, which is 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., 365 days a year. The storage room is actually used for an average of 3 h a day. If the price of electricity is $0.11/kWh, determine the amount of energy and money that will be saved as a result of installing motion sensors. Also, determine the simple payback period if the purchase price of the sensor is $32 and it takes 1 h to install it at a cost of $66.

Answer:

amount of energy  = 4730.4 kWh/yr

amount of money = 520.34 per year

payback period = 0.188 year

Explanation:

given data

light fixtures = 6

lamp = 4

power = 60 W

average use = 3 h a day

price of electricity = $0.11/kWh

to find out

the amount of energy and money that will be saved and simple payback period if the purchase price of the sensor is $32 and it takes 1 h to install it at a cost of $66

solution

we find energy saving by difference in time the light were

ΔE = no of fixture × number of lamp × power of each lamp × Δt

ΔE is amount of energy save and Δt is time difference

so

ΔE = 6 × 4 × 365 ( 12 - 9 )

ΔE = 4730.4 kWh/yr

and

money saving find out by energy saving and unit cost that i s

ΔM = ΔE × Munit

ΔM = 4730.4 × 0.11

ΔM = 520.34 per year

and

payback period is calculate as

payback period = \frac{excess initial cost}{\Delta M}

payback period = \frac{32 + 66}{520.34}

payback period = 0.188 year

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nmnm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nmnm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm
Ratling [72]

(a) The screen  is 3.20m from the split.

(b) The closest minima for green, distance Δy = 0.45 cm.

When a wave hits a barrier or opening, numerous events are referred to as diffraction. It is described as the interference or bending of waves via an aperture or around the corners of an obstruction into the area that forms the geometric shadow of the obstruction or aperture.

(a)Equation of minima = sinθ  = mλ/α

Given, m = 3, λ = 6.33X10⁻⁷, α = 0.00015

Putting the values in formula to get θ.

  θ = sin⁻¹ ( \frac{3 X 6.33X10^{-7} }{0.00015} ) = 0.01266 rad

triangle need to be drawn to find relationship between θ, y$ and L

tan(θ) = y/L  where; y = 4.05 cm

L = y/tan(θ) = 3.20

Hence, the screen is 3.20m from the split.

(b) Find the closest minima for green

minima equation is sinθ  = mλ/α where, m = 4 (minima with smallest distance)

sinθ  = 4λ/α

θ = sin⁻¹ (\frac{4X6.33X10^{-7} }{0.00015}) = 0.01688 rad

Calculate L using

tanθ = y/L

  L = 4.5 cm

From equation subtract y₃ from y:

                 4.50 cm - 4.05 cm = 0.45 cm

Hence, distance Δy = 0.45 cm.

Question

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm slit. On the other side of the slit is a white screen. When the red laser is turned on, it creates a diffraction pattern on the screen.

a. The distance y3,red from the center of the pattern to the location of the third diffraction minimum of the red laser is 4.05 cm. How far L is the screen from the slit? Express this distance L in meters to three significant figures.

b. With both lasers turned on, the screen shows two overlapping diffraction patterns. The central maxima of the two patterns are at the same position. What is the distance Δy between the third minimum in the diffraction pattern of the red laser (from Part A) and the nearest minimum in the diffraction pattern of the green laser?
