A Michelson interferometer operating at a 500 nm wavelength has a 3.73-cm-long glass cell in one arm. To begin, the air is pumpe

d out of the cell and mirror M2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. Then, a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. The index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.
How many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?

Answer:

The number of bright-dark fringe is 42

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength of light, \lambda = 500\ nm = 500\times 10^{- 9}\ m

Length of the glass cell, x = 3.73 cm = 0.0373 m

Refractive index, \mu = 1.00028

Now,

To calculate the bright-dark fringe shifts, we use the formula given below:

d_{m} = \frac{2x}{\lambda }\times (\mu - 1)

Now, substituting the appropriate values in the above formula:

d_{m} = \frac{2\times 0.0373}{500\times 10^{- 9}}\times (1.00028 - 1)

d_{m} = 41.77 ≈ 42

A gasoline engine has a piston/cylinder with 0.1 kg air at 4 MPa, 1527◦C after combustion, and this is expanded in a polytropic
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The expansion work is 71.24 kJ and heat transfer is -16.89 kJ

Explanation:

From ideal gas law,

Initial volume (V1) = nRT/P

n is the number of moles of air in the cylinder = mass/MW = 0.1/29 = 0.00345 kgmol

R is gas constant = 8314.34 J/kgmol.K

T is initial temperature = 1527 °C = 1527+273 = 1800 K

P is initial pressure = 4 MPa = 4×10^6 Pa

V1 = 0.00345×8314.34×1800/(4×10^6) = 0.013 m^3

V2 = 10×V1 = 10×0.013 = 0.13 m^3

The process is a polytropic expansion process

polytropic exponent (n) = 1.5

P2 = P1(V1/V2)^n = 4×10^6(0.013/0.13)^1.5 = 1.26×10^5 Pa

Expansion work = (P1V1 - P2V2) ÷ (n - 1) = (4×10^6 × 0.013 - 1.26×10^5 × 0.13) ÷ (1.5 - 1) = 35620 ÷ 0.5 = 71240 J = 71240/1000 = 71.24 kJ

Heat transfer = change in internal energy + expansion work

change in internal energy (∆U) = Cv(T2 - T1)

T2 = PV/nR = 1.26×10^5 × 0.13/0.00345×8314.34 = 571 K

Cv = 20.785 kJ/kgmol.K

∆U = 20.785(571 - 1800) = -25544.765 kJ/kgmol × 0.00345 kgmol = -88.13 kJ

Heat transfer = -88.13 + 71.24 = -16.89 kJ
