The indices of refraction for the fast and slow axes of quartz with 589 nm light are 1.5462 and 1.5553, respectively.
(a) By what fraction of a wavelength is the e-ray retarded, relative to the o-ray, for every
wavelength of travel in quartz?
(b) What is the minimum thickness of quartz needed to manufacture a quarter-wave plate
(QWP)?
(c) Imagine that the thickness found in part (b) turned out to be too thin for the QWP to be
durable and you want to manufacture a QWP with a thickness of at least 0.725 mm. What will be the thickness of the thinnest possible QWP that will be larger than 0.725 mm?

Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.4 μF , 8.0 μF , and 4.8 μF are connected in series across a 34-V potential difference.
PART A- What is the charge on the 4.8 μF capacitor?
PART B- What is the total energy stored in all three capacitors?
PART C- The capacitors are disconnected from the potential difference without allowing them to discharge. They are then reconnected in parallel with each other, with the positively charged plates connected together. What is the voltage across each capacitor in the parallel combination?
PART D- What is the total energy now stored in the capacitors?

B.)If the original light is linearly polarized in the same direction as the polarizing axis of the first polarizer the light reaches, what should ϕ be?

In the card game Poker, a royal flush is an unbeatable hand. It
is composed of an ace, king, queen, jack, and 10 all of the same
suit. There are four possible royal flushes:
A♣️, K♣️, Q♣️, J♣️, 10♣️.
A♠︎, K♠︎, Q♠︎, J♠︎, 10♠︎.
A♥️, K♥️, Q♥️, J♥️, 10♥️.
A♦︎, K♦︎, Q♦︎, J♦︎, 10♦︎.
As you may expect, the probability of being dealt a royal flush is
incredibly tiny. "Any poker player who has ever been dealt a royal
flush will remember it for the rest of his or her life."
There are other hands that are less impressive than a royal flush.
The least valuable hand is a bunch of unrelated numbers (e.g. not
the same, not in a row) of different suits. For example, the
hand
4♦︎, 3♦︎, J♥️, 2♠︎, 7♦︎.
is worth almost nothing. Let's call it a "lousy hand."
It turns out that this is a good analogy to understand entropy. A
specific hand that one is dealt is a microstate. The classification
of the hand ("royal flush" versus "lousy hand") is a
macrostate.
Explain the difference between "microstates" and "macrostates" in this poker analogy.

there is a sinusoidal message signal (f = 100 Hz).
Make amplitude modulation with carrier frequency of 10KHz. Use three different modulation depths / indices (0.2 /0.60/0.8).
Then demodulate this mixed signal (for these three cases) by try to get message signals. (need matlab codes and graphs)

A cyclotron is used to produce a beam of high-energy deuterons that then collide with a target to produce radioactive isotopes for a medical procedure. Deuterons are nuclei of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one neutron and one proton, with total mass 3.34×10−27kg. The deuterons exit the cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 5.00 MeV .
1. What is the speed of the deuterons when they exit? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
2. If the magnetic field inside the cyclotron is 1.25 T, what is the diameter of the deuterons' largest orbit, just before they exit? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
3. If the beam current is 350 μA how many deuterons strike the target each second? Express your answer as the number of the deuetrons.

A project manager decided to use critical ratio (C/Rij for WP j of project i) to prioritize and schedule the remaining work packages to be done for three concurrent projects with the data in the table below. The technical sequence (precedence) are WP1>WP2>WP4>WP4, for each of the three projects. For an illustration, the first project is due by day 4. Its first work package requires 2 days at workstation 1.
