The mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by what type of wiring?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The copper wiring most likely caused the mini-refrigerator fire.

Explanation: A mini-refrigerator may have one or more evaporator fan motors. These motors have copper wiring. In some situation these copper wires gets overheated. It may result to the firing of the mini-refrigerator.

Therefore, the mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by copper wiring.

Each rarefraction on a longitudinal wave correspond to what point on a transverse wave?
morpeh [17]
Answer: In a longitudinal wave, the crest and trough of a transverse wave correspond respectively to the compression, and the rarefaction. A compression is when the particles in the medium through which the wave is traveling are closer together than in its natural state, that is, when their density is greatest.

Jan first uses a Michelson interferometer with the 606 nmnm light from a krypton-86 lamp. He displaces the movable mirror away f
gogolik [260]

Answer:

a) d₁ = 247.8 μm

d₂ = 205.3 μm

b) d₂ = 20.53 x 10⁻⁵ m = 205.3 μm

Explanation:

a)

The formula for Michelson Interferometer is derived to be:

d = mλ/2

where,

d = distance moved

m = no. of fringes

λ = wavelength of light

For JAN, we have following data

d = d₁

m = 818

λ = 606 nm = 606 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

d₁ = (818)(606 x 10⁻⁹ m)/2

<u>d₁ = 24.78 x 10⁻⁵ m = 247.8 μm</u>

For LINDA, we have following data

d = d₂

m = 818

λ = 502 nm = 502 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

d₂ = (818)(502 x 10⁻⁹ m)/2

<u>d₂ = 20.53 x 10⁻⁵ m = 205.3 μm</u>

b)

The resultant displacement can be found out from the difference between both displacement. And the direction of resultant displacement will be the same as the direction of greater displacement. Therefore,

Resultant Displacement = Δd = d₁ - d₂

Δd = 247.8 μm - 205.3 μm

<u>Δd = 42.5 μm (in the direction of JAN)</u>
