The very first thing that you should do when a passenger on your boat falls overboard is to throw a PFD or also known as a Personal Flotation Device. This would include anything that can help the passenger to float. But this step would differ, only if the passenger is not wearing a lifevest.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

λ = 5.65m

Explanation:

The Path Difference Condition is given as:

δ=(m+\frac{1}{2})\frac{lamda}{n}  ;

where lamda is represent by the symbol (λ) and is the wavelength we are meant to calculate.

m = no of openings which is 2

∴δ= \frac{3*lamda}{2}

n is the index of refraction of the medium in which the wave is traveling

To find δ we have;

δ= \sqrt{70^2+(33+\frac{20}{2})^2 }-\sqrt{70^2+(33-\frac{20}{2})^2 }

δ= \sqrt{4900+(\frac{66+20}{2})^2}-\sqrt{4900+(\frac{66-20}{2})^2}

δ= \sqrt{4900+(\frac{86}{2})^2 }-\sqrt{4900+(\frac{46}{2})^2 }

δ= \sqrt{4900+43^2}-\sqrt{4900+23^2}

δ= \sqrt{4900+1849}-\sqrt{4900+529}

δ= \sqrt{6749}-\sqrt{5429}

δ=  82.15 -73.68

δ= 8.47

Again remember; to calculate the wavelength of the ocean waves; we have:

δ= \frac{3*lamda}{2}

δ= 8.47

8.47 = \frac{3*lamda}{2}

λ = \frac{8.47*2}{3}

λ = 5.65m

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

Explanation:

Here Tech A is wrong because when diagnosing an overheating hydraulic system, it is not necessary to un plugg the oil cooler rather it should be plugged to for proper diagnosis.

Technician B says running the hydraulic system at a lower operating temperature will reduce the possibly of oil oxidation is correct statement because at temperature oil's physical as well as chemical property tend to change.

Hence, Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
