Answer:

<em>The wavelength of water = 571.43 nm</em>

Explanation:

Refractive index of water = wave length of light in air/wave length of light in water

R.d = λ₁/λ₂.................. Equation 1

making λ₂ the subject of equation 1

λ₂ = λ₁/R.d...................... Equation 2

R.d = refractive index of water , λ₁ = wave length of light in air, λ₂ = wave length of light in water

<em>Given: R.d = 1.33, λ₁ = 760nm</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

λ₂  = 760/1.33

<em>λ₂  = 571.43 nm</em>

<em>Therefore the wavelength of water = 571.43 nm</em>

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3 fans per 15 A circuit

Explanation:

From the question and the data given, the light load let fan would have been

(60 * 4)/120 = 240/120 = 2 A.

Next, we add the current of the fan motor to it, so,

2 A + 1.8 A = 3.8 A.

Since the devices are continuos duty and the circuit current must be limited to 80%, then the Breaker load max would be

0.8 * 15 A = 12 A.

Now, we can get the number if fans, which will be

12 A/ 3.8 A = 3.16 fans, or approximately, 3 fans per 15 A circuit.
