In a YDSE a parallel beam of light of wavelength 6000Å is incident on slits at angle of incidence 30^(@) . A and B are two thin transparent films each of refractive index 1.5. thickness of A is 20.4mum . Light coming through A and B have intensities I and 4I resepctively on the screen. Intensity at point O which is symmetric relative to the slits is 3I. The central maxima is above O. (i). what is the maximum thickness of B to do so. Assuming thickness of B to be that found in part (i) Answer the following parts. (ii). Find fringe width, maximum intensity and minimum intensity on screen. (iii). Distance of nearest minima from O (iv) intensity at 5 cm on either side of O.

For his 18th birthday in February Peter plants to turn a hut in the garden of his parents into a swimming pool with an artifical beach. In order to estimate the consts for heating the water and the house , peter obtains the data for the natural gas combustion and its price. What is the total energy (in MJ) needed for Peter's "winter swimming pool" calculated in 1.3 and 1.4? How much natural gas will he need, if the gas heater has an efficiency of 90.0% ? What are the different costs for the use of either natural gas or electricity ? Use the values given by PUC for your calculations and assume 100% efficiency for the electric heater. Table 1: Composition of natural gas {:("Chemical substance","mol fraction x",D_(1)H^(@)(KJ mol^(-1))^(-1),S^(@)(J mol^(-1)K^(-1))^(-1),C_(p)^(@)(J mol^(-1)K^(-1))^(-1)),(CO_(2(g)),0.0024,-393.5,213.6,37.1),(N_(2(g)) ,0.0134,0.0,191.6,29.1),(CH_(2(g)),0.9732,-74.6,186.3,35.7),(C_(2)H_(3 (g)),0.0110,-84.0,229.2,52.2),(H_(2)O_(g),-,-285.8,70.0,75.3),(H_(2)O_(g),-,-241.8,188.8,33.6),(H_(2)O_(g),-,0.0,205.2,29.4):} Equation J=E(A.Deltat)^(-1) =!! lambda "wall" .
