Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped 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?

Consider the growth of a 20-nm-diameter silicon nanowire onto a silicon wafer. the temperature of the wafer surface is maintained at 2400 k. assume the thermal conductivity of the silicon nanowire is 20 wm-1k-1 and all its surfaces including the tip are subjected to convection heat transfer with the coefficient h = 1×105 wm-2k-1 and t∞ = 8000 k. when the nanowire grows to l = 300 nm, what is the temperature of the nanowire tip (t (x =

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
