Answer:

d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

An optical engineer needs to ensure that the bright fringes from a double-slit are 15.7 mm apart on a detector that is  1.70m from the slits. If the slits are illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 633 nm, how far apart should the slits be?

The answer can be given by using the formula derived from Young's Double Slit Experiment:

y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\d  =\frac{\lambda L}{y}\\\\

where,

d = slit separation = ?

λ = wavelength = 633 nm = 6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = distance from screen (detector) = 1.7 m

y = distance between bright fringes = 15.7 mm = 0.0157 m

Therefore,

d = \frac{(6.33\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(1.7\ m)}{0.0157\ m}\\\\

<u>d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm</u>

Water vapor enters a turbine operating at steady state at 500°C, 40 bar, with a velocity of 200 m/s, and expands adiabatically t
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

W = 5701 KW

Explanation:

From the question let inlet be labelled as point 1 and exit as point 2, for the fluid steam, we can get the following;

Inlet (1): P1 = 40 bar ; T1 = 500°C and V1 = 200 m/s

Exit(2) : At saturated vapour; P2 = 0.8 bar and V2 = 150 m/s

Volumetric flow rate = 15 m^(3)/s

Now, to solve this question, we assume constant average values, steeady flow and adiabatic flow.

Specific volume for steam at P2 = 0.8 bar in the saturated vapour state can be gotten from saturated steam tables(find a sample of the table attached to this answer).

So from the table,

v2 = 2.087 m^(3)/kg

Now, mass flow rate (m) = (AV) /v

Where AV is the volumetric flow rate.

Thus, the mass flow rate at exit could be calculated as;

m = 15/(2.087) = 7.17 kg/s

We also know energy equation could be defined as;

Q-W = m[(h1 - h2) + {(V2(^2) - (V1(^2)} /2)} + g(Z2 - Z1)]

Since the flow is adiabatic, potential energy can be taken to be zero. Therefore, we get;

-W = m[(h2 - h1) + {(V2(^2) - (V1(^2)} /2)}

From, table 2, i attached , at P1 = 40 bar and T1 = 500°C; specific enthalpy was calculated to be h1 = 3445.3 KJ/Kg

Likewise, at P2 = 0.8 bar; from the table, we get specific enthalpy as;

h2 = 2665.8 KJ/Kg

So we now calculate power developed;

W = - 7.17 [(2665.8 - 3445.3) + {(150^(2) - 200^(2))/2000 = 5701KW

Since the sign is not negative but positive, it means that the power is developed from the system.

On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of
sasho [114]

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a w
amm1812

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

1)

  • Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

        v = \lambda * f (1)

  • Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

       f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)

⇒     f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

2)

  • Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       v =\frac{d}{t} (3)

       where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

       d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

  • Solving for t, we get:

       t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)

       ⇒  t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)
