Two flat plates of glass with parallel faces are on a table, one plate on the other. Each plate is 11.0 cm long and has a refrac- tive index of 1.55. A very thin sheet of metal foil is inserted under the end of the upper plate to raise it slightly at that end, in a man- ner similar to that discussed in Example 35.4. When you view the glass plates from above with reflected white light, you observe that,...

Two infinite planes of charge lie parallel to each other and to the yz plane. One is at x = -2 m and has a surface charge density of ϝ = -3.2 µC/m2. The other is at x = 3 m and has a surface charge density of ϝ = 4.0 µC/m2. Find the electric field for the following locations. (a) x < -2 m = N/C (i hat) (b) -2 m < x < 3 m = N/C (i...

A double pane window consists of two pieces of glass each of 8 mm thick that enclose an air space of 8 mm thick. The window separates room air at 18°C from outside ambient air at -8°C. The convection coefficient associated with the inner (room-side) surface is 12W/m2 .K. The thermal conductivity of the glass is kg=1.35 W/m. K and that of the air is ka=0.027 W/m. K Q1- If the outside air convection coefficient is ho = 76 W/m2...

1.) Two 100 g pieces of metal, one copper and one aluminum, that start at the same temperature are put in an oven for 2 minutes. When they are taken out of the oven, the copper feels warmer than the aluminum. This can be explained by the relative values of specific heat for the two metals. Copper must have a [ Select ] ["higher", "lower"] specific heat capacity than the aluminum, because [select one: higher heat capacity men a high...

A 20 foot piece of wire is to be cut into two pieces. One piece is used to form a circle and the other is used to form a square (imagine fence used to make a square corral and a circular corral). What lengths should be cut to make each shape in order to maximize the sum of the areas of the two shapes? Let x = the length of the part of the wire that will be used to...
