Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline. you notice a swirlingpattern

of colors caused by interference inside the gasoline film. The point directly beneath you is colored a beautifuliridescent green. You happen to remember that the index of refraction of gasoline is 1.38 and that the wavelength of greenlight is about 540 nm. What is the minimum possible thickness of the gasoline layer directly beneath you?

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of colored film we apply the theory of interference.

Condition that colored fringe is formed ( constructive interference)

2μt = λ/ 2 ( minimum order)

t = λ/ 4μ

= 540 / 4 x 1.38

= 97.83 nm

Explanation:

What is IEEE 802.11?

IEEE 802.11 is a set of WLAN standards for communication developed by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and is unarguably most widely used WLAN technology.

Features: IEEE 802.11a

  • The operating frequency band is 5 GHz.
  • The maximum theoretical data rate is 54 Mbps, the typical throughput is around 25 Mbps and minimum data rate is 6 Mbps.
  • It can support 64 users per access point.

Features: IEEE 802.11b

  • The operating frequency band is 2.4 GHz.
  • The maximum theoretical data rate is 11 Mbps but typical throughput is around 6 Mbps and minimum data rate is 1 Mbps.
  • It can support 32 users per access point.

Wireless Coverage IEEE 802.11a Vs IEEE 802.11b:

  • Signal coverage is one of the most important factors among users.
  • The transmission range of IEEE 802.11a is not greater than 100 ft in indoor setting whereas IEEE 802.11b has a superior performance in this regard with transmission range up to 150 ft in indoor setting.
  • The data rate has a direct relation with the access point coverage area, a higher data rate means less coverage area and a lower data rate results in increased coverage.

How does a large star create the elements? at what element does the star stop making new elements?
Dahasolnce [82]
They are fused in the core of the star due to great pressures and temperatures.  They are made all the way through iron.  At that point the star dies.  If it is a really large star it will become a supernova when it dies, creating all of the elements beyond iron as well, but only in its death.  No star can create anything beyond iron in its life cycle

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.
